Optical Discs
=============
Passthrough reading and recording (a.k.a., "burning") is not supported by Xen.
Currently, the only options for reading and recording optical discs (e.g., CDs, DVDs, BRDs) in Qubes are:
1. Use a USB optical drive.
2. Attach a SATA optical drive to a secondary SATA controller, then assign this secondary SATA controller to a VM.
3. Use a SATA optical drive attached to dom0.
(**Caution:** This option is [potentially dangerous](/doc/security-guidelines/#dom0-precautions).
