Using optical drives with Pinephone
#2
i haven't tested usb based optical drive on pinephone regular or pro. i have a desktop and laptop. however i recently used optical drive to read some disks into hard drive for storage.

i don't know does arm based pp need drivers for usb optical drive. maybe i test, but not quickly. physical power is an issue though.

optical medias will not be shown in fdisk or lsblk, they work little differently.

my guess is, this is a bad idea. i would use x86-64 computer for this.

you may want to check following programs though. these are text based programs.

following is what i think of optical medias:
