    Passing multiple DVD/Bluray writers to VM

    SATA-to-USB failed to work as intended. A single bluray device connected via SATA-to-USB works fine (reading, no burning tested), but when using all three simultaneously, two of the drives cease transferring data (first one after a minute or so, then the 2nd another minute or two later). If...

    Passing multiple DVD/Bluray writers to VM

    Using the first post link, I was able to get the 4 drives working correctly with DVD discs (though about 50% slower than when they operated natively under Windows 10 Pro on the same system); however, when using Bluray discs I do encounter the issue raised in the second post link.

I don't mind the functional but...

    Thank you very much for the detailed reply with additional options/info. I will likely try the to SATA-to-USB controller route in a few days unless someone else presents another option since I am about to attempt a GPU passthrough (AMD Firepor S7150x2) and don't wish to push my luck on enough...

    Passing multiple DVD/Bluray writers to VM

    I have 4 internal SATA (connected via two built-in controllers) DVD/Bluray writers that I wish to use in a VM. While I can pass one physical device via "Use physical CD/DVD", it is not presented as a Bluray drive to the VM (a Bluray disc can be read in its entirety, but Bluray software reports...
