Pictured is a mystery board I acquired. I am leaning heavy to CD/DVD. But. Stranger things have happened. I provided back, side and front view. I am confident. The forum members can nail the evaluation.

looks like a CD board to me, to much blank PCB to be a hdd board if you'd ask me.

Definitely!
Lots of ribbon cable connections for the different things in the drive, hdd don't have those. This board doesn't seem to have any switches, often CD/DVD drives have small switches near the edge. Also don't see any here, labeling on the board itself often has words like "eject" "volume" or similar functions you'd expect in CD drives as well as NTSC or PAL for the video formatting in DVD drives.
