Pass-through CD-ROM to win10 vm


Recommended Posts

Unraid see CD ROM as a drive only when a CD is inserted, for your purpose, I recommend buying a cheep HBA (Host Bus Adapter) Card that support removeable media or buying a usb to sata adapter and pass that through

THIS ASSUME THAT YOU HAVE A INTERNAL (SATA BASED) CD DRIVE

Would a 4 port sata 3 pci-e card count as a compatible hba adapter?
