I haven't found any recent solution to passing through a SATA optical drive to a Windows VM.
I have tried the following which shows up in the VM as a CD-ROM but it cannot recognize any media when inserted. Further, VM will not boot if there is media in the drive:
An older method that seemed to have promise is no longer supported by PVE 5.1, and I would rather not install iSCSI modules if there is a better method (https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/CD/DVD_Writer)
Other options that I would prefer to avoid if possible include passing through a PCI SATA HBA for the optical drive to the VM, and passing through USB for an external optical drive.
Any other suggestions for my VM to work with SATA attached optical writer? Thank you in advance!
