I purchased an external sata/usb case to make this an external drive since I don't have drive bays. It works on an imac but only for read/write. On the win machine I can watch movies and burn Blu-Ray and DVD/CD-r's. The initial install of the drive's included software was a little disastrous. After the install the drive wasn't recognized. With some online research I found that the Cyberlink PowerDVD 9 was outdated in every way so I had to purchase an upgrade to version 10. Once I did that things worked much better. I still find that after my computer boots, if the drive isn't recognized all I need to do is turn off the power on the drive box and then turn it back on and things work. The drive is a 10X Blu-Ray so it burns fairly fast although I've only used 4x discs. It burns cd's and DVD's super fast too. This drive is also capable of doing LightScribe but there aren't any logos on the face or anything in the manual. Its a quiet drive for the most part but sometimes will rev-up like a jet engine. My biggest gripe with the drive is that it was an OEM and was packaged in a ziplock style bag. Amazon surprisingly packed this terribly loose in the box but luckily there were other items with it to keep it from swimming in the box. Other than the install software being outdated and the packaging issue, I think so far its a great drive that works the way I expected it to. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Unreliable! By AsiancCharm Two weeks ago, I bought 5 spindles of Memorex BD-Rs to burn blu-ray movies. The first two spindles worked like a charm! however, starting with the third spindle, all hell broke lose: some discs failed to burn entirely, and some discs got burned but wouldn't play on regular blu-ray players. Worst, after 10 discs or so, the LD Blu-ray rom stopped working. The unit would play CDs, DVDs, and blu-rays, and burn CDs and DVDs, but it absolutely wouldn't burn any blu-ray discs (any brand). Called the tech support at LD, and the guy told me to stay away from Memorex BD-R discs because they are known to destroy LD Blu-ray roms! On the same day after my LG blu-ray rom stopped burning Memorex BD-Rs, I went to a local electronic store to buy another blu-ray rom because I needed to finish the project I started earlier. As soon as I finished installing the new HP blu-ray writable rom, I immediately inserted an empty Memorex BD-R to burn the same project that I failed earlier. Guess what, it burnt without a hitch! Subsequently I sent the old LG blu-ray rom back to the Manufacturer for a warranty exchange. As soon as I got the replacement LG rom, I took out the HP rom, and installed the new LG rom. Guess what, this time I put in a Kodak BD-R, and it burnt without any problem as well. However, as soon as I put in a second Kodak BD-R, the project was burning okay for awhile, then the speed got slower and slower, eventually it completely stopped at 75%. Boy oh boy, was I mad!! I immediately called LG tech support. LG again told me that Kodak BD-R brand (made by Phillips) was also no good for LG blu-ray rom. Then, I asked what brand he did recommend. He said brands like Mitsibishi, Vebatim. As soon as I finished the call, I re-installed the HP rom, and it has been burning all kind of discs without any problem whatsoever: Kodak, Imation, Memorex, Inland Pro-HT, etc. What is the moral of the story? CERTAIN BD-R BRANDS ARE BAD FOR CERTAIN BD-R WRITABLE ROM. So, whom to blame? I think you know the answer. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Mac Pro Internal Blu-Ray Disc Rewriter LG BH10LS30 By L. J. J. Buijs Until today, May 2011, Macs don't come with Blu-Ray drives, let alone Blu-Ray burners. Not even as an BTO option. This is a shame, because Blu-Ray disks are a fine medium to store large quantities of
