You've had odd and inconsistent issues such as sudden appearance of
"under voltage" messages.

With Pi's (and I have 1,3 & 4) - with USB devices whose power demand can
significantly vary according to activity, such as GSM, CD drive or DVB-S
stick, after many instances of dodgy boots and inexplicable failures, I
always use a powered Hub (either separate or integrated in a monitor)
which can deliver full rating out of each socket - it also means device
is fed from a single PSU.  I don't know if it is always required but it
seems to make things reliable.

That said, newer CD drives have smaller power requirements so I'm
surprised at the varied difficulties you're having.
