I've did this question only to share the answer.

cd  C:Program FilesOracleVirtualBox

First check the driver with:

VBoxManage internalcommands listpartitions -rawdisk .PhysicalDrive1

.PhysicalDrive0

.PhysicalDrive1

.PhysicalDrive2 ... and so on. If you see the right one with partitions and exact size, memorize the name.

Now you just do like:

VBoxManage convertfromraw \.PhysicalDrive0 MyImage.vdi --format VDI

Converting from raw image file=".PhysicalDrive0" to
file="MyImage.vdi"...

Creating dynamic image with size 120034123776 bytes (114474MB)...

I've tested just to copy a Windows install from a small SSD. And then I ran in Virtualbox 6.
