Depends on what drive the device uses: if just a laptop-sized CD then only +5V will suffice.
Common/5.25" full-sized units uses 12 & +5V. |

12 & 5V. The +5V can be sorted internally by a simple voltage regulator, if the unit does not have a dual power input.
So you must check buzzing the CD power connector to the motherboard and from there to the power connector at the back of the unit. |
