Siwat2545 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) 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 Edited April 20, 2019 by Siwat2545 Quote Link to comment

Depends, raid card and hba card are not the same thing, I suggest getting a LSI 9210-8i and flash it with a hba firmwareSent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
