Why did you expect the drive to work in rest mode dude :/
Because that would make sense! At least if you're installing a game.
I wish the damn thing'd just read from the disc. This gen made me go from digital hater to not giving a shit about physical releases at all anymore. (Switch and 3DS I still get physical copies. Xbox and PS4 I just look for the cheapest option.)
Yeah I used to be a physical purist because I was a game collector and have all this huge ass collection with some rare $$$ stuff and don't trust future BC for still being able to play digital copies.
...but this gen I'm basically digital for 3/4ths of the stuff. Only time I buy physical is on PS4 when I'm importing from Japan (because Amazon JP physical is $20 cheaper than digital even with shipping), used game shopping in Japan, or buying a game I'm gonna lend to my brother.
Switch / PC I'm 100% digital at this point.
