If your mac has a sata interface you can use this burner. BE Warned however this blu ray burner will die on you BARELY outside its warranty so I hope you got it really really cheap. This burner died 2 months outside of warranty on me after me having only owned it 14 months with light use at a cost of $100 and when it was capable of burning blu rays it produced coasters 4 out of ten times. I have another LG blu ray reader that will not read blu rays. LG is junk which is why I replaced my blu ray writer with a ASUS which has been running with no issues for the last 16 months.

if it has a sata connection, you should be fine. i put mine in a 2008 mac pro intel quad... problem is, it crapped out after 3 yrs. i now have the comparable Asus...

I have Mt Lion, I am not sure if there are any issues with previous OS's.. I can't imagine it being a problem, especially if you're using it as a sole hard drive.. I have the stock 1TB hdd as a secondary internal in my 2012 Mac mini, and if you pay attention to the OWC instructions on setup, it works like a dream. I can only imagine hardware not being compatible if anything. I really don't know 100%, but I assume you will be safe

Well... man... that's a good question. The box set includes a Snow Leopard DVD, an iWork DVD, and an iLife DVD (keep in mind that the regular Snow Leopard family pack, that's not a box set, does not include iLife or iWork). The Snow Leopard one is only for Intel Macs. I know the retail iWork and iLife versions work on PowerPC, and I would assume that they are *probably* using the same ones, since the installer packages that you could download (such as for the iWork trial) are for both Intel and PowerPC, and since they wouldn't have to put separate files on there it would probably be easiest for them to include disks that supported PowerPC. Then again, I can't confirm this and it is a possibility that they assumed they only needed to include Intel support. One possible option you have is to buy iWork/iLife/Snow Leopard separately. The actual disks that are included in single-license copies are the same as in the family-pack ones, meaning it will install on all your computers. So what you could do is purchase those disks separately (either with family packs or not) to approximate the price of the Mac Box Set Family Pack. Of course, the best option would be to actually call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask them if the iWork and iLife work on PPC. If not, you could ask them about buying the non-family pack versions separately to see if it's ok. I'm sure they'll be fine with it.

Just hook the CD only Mac to your DVD reading Mac via Firewire and reboot the older Mac holding down T key. That mac will then appear on desktop of your newer mac and you can install from the DVD.

I have the iMac 2.66 i5 quad core Mac. I think it's the mid-2009 model and it was compatible with that.

I found online that it supports OS X 10.6 and up. I am not familiar with OS X in general so I can't fully commit and say it will be easy to use. Many users are claiming it to be hard to find a good program for burning the data. Apple has never endorsed Blu-Ray so this shouldn't be surprising. I would check some forums before committing to a purchase, but I must say its a great BD burner.

The link is back up. Can anyone comment on the Mac drivers? I'm thinking about buying one of these if it works well.

I'm not an Imac user, but it is a generic DVD drive with a USB interface. If that floats your boat, it should work.

I have no idea what version the discs are. I use an LG Blu-ray burner..no problem!Have burned double layer as well without any difficulty on my Mac.

I was on the verge of getting a Mac if for no other reason then final cut. But I know I don't have a good hard drive, just the original 72,000 rpm included with my Emachines et1352-53, I have heard of raid setups. Could you tell me what I would need to set up something like that? also where did you get your weird software (was it Edius?)

I've used it on my iMac (7 yrs old) running OS 10.6 2.16 GHZ Intel Cor 2 Duo, and my Mac Mini (2.5 yrs old) running OS 10.8. No problems.

YES, The manufacturer says, right on the box (I understand that you don't own a box, yet, because you are doing an on-line purchase) for the Mac OS X (Ver. 10.6 or higher), the installation wizard is Now Available (Requires Mac computer with Intel processor) Download the installation wizard at: www.trendnet.com/macwizard

I'm unsure. I use it on a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 running. I have an LG Blu-ray burner in it. On my system, I was able to just plug it in and go, no software installation. I use it in conjunction with Adobe Encore to create BD projects.

First, they are CDs and secondly, your iMac DOES have a DVD/CD drive. Unless, of course, it predates DVDs and then OS X 10 probably will not run on your device either.

Excellent review. My questions are: 1. After you made your 17 Gb movie did you burn it into iDVD? If so, how did you fit that size movie into a 4.7 GB DVD?ThanksSony DCR-SR100 novice mac user (G5 imac)

Just curious - you ARE using the DCR-DVD108 and not the DCR-DVD308 correct? Also, which version of Leopard are you running? Thanks!

This is a hard drive meant to be installed in a server or Network Attached Storage. For performance sake, I would suggest getting a WD Black drive instead. That being said it should work just the same as this is a 3.5" hard drive, which is what is in this version of iMac.
