It is a Bluray drive. I've only checked with CDs so I'm not sure about DVD or Bluray speeds. With a data CD inside the Ubuntu VM: pv whatever.tmp > ~/whatever.tmp 65.9MiB 0:00:12 [5.07MiB/s] [========================================================>] 100% and directly at the unraid terminal: pv whatever.tmp > /mnt/user/whatever.tmp 65.9MiB 0:00:13 [4.81MiB/s] [=====================================================================>] 100% These appear within error to me and as expected for a CD (>24x speed, so full speed spinning). So I do not see a slowdown for CDs

So after a variety of attempts from a number of forum posts, the following approach link1 link2 worked for me: >> lsscsi [2:0:0:0] cd/dvd HL-DT-ST BD-RE WH14NS40 1.03 /dev/sr0 And then hand modifying the ubuntu XML VM with <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi'/> <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='scsi'> <source> <adapter name='scsi_host2'/> <address type='scsi' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </source> <readonly/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='0'/> </hostdev> Other posts had suggested changing the controller value to "1" which did not work for me. I now have access to the Blu-ray drive from within the Ubuntu VM (it automatically detects a Audio disk insert and mounts it). I am now able to rip audio CDs which was my original objective.

Has the question of passing through a DVD (or Blu-ray) connected via SATA to the motherboard been resolved? I am looking to do audio CD ripping, disc backups, and movie rips. I am aware of the makemkv docker which works well but I have not found any docker solutions for CD audio ripping that work. To be clear, I have a 6.6.0 Unraid computer, I am running a Ubuntu VM, and am looking for a way to access the blu-ray drive from within the Ubuntu VM.
