For a SATA CD/DVD/BluRay drive, it should be /dev/srX, where X starts
at zero...

Also, might want to check the /dev/sg* nodes.  Is there one for every
drive that is installed in the system?  If there are more /dev/sg*
nodes than there are /dev/sd* and /dev/sr* nodes, and you don't have
any SCSI-generic only devices, then there's the missing drive...
