What is the voltage for the PS5 disc drive?

Hi,

Can anyone tell me the voltage for the PS5 disc drive? I know the fan runs 12v and I’d like to know if the disc drive uses 12v or 5v.

Thanks!

The 4 pin cable that connects the MB to the drive has both voltages, the top pin is 5v and the bottom pin is 12v. When the PS5 is "off" there is always 12v to that pin but the 5v is enabled on the PS5 is turned on. I am assuming it uses both (and I am guessing at this point) but the laser prob test more power to run but the motors to spin the disc, load, eject etc, do not require as much.
