Shot answer is yes. I use it to burn Blu-Rays of our vacation. I've been very happy with it. My only complaint is the on/off switch is in the back. I recommend this burner.

Can't speak to your exact model of mac-mini or OS version, but I burned a 50Gb blu-ray data disk from a 2.6 i7 mini running mountain lion without any special installation.

Thank you--the "bootable sd cards" sounds like a more appealing alternative. I'm not wild about the idea of having an external CD/DVD drive--kind of defeats the purpose of this highly portable option. Thank you!

This drive is backward compatible. It reads and writes Blu-ray, reads and writes DVD and CD as well.

Not sure. I have a Macbook Pro. All I can say is read the specs. The drive does come with a download disc. I bought one so I could burn blu-ray / dvd (mac doesn't have that capability).

Rose, I don't think you can buy those 750 MB disks any longer; I think they went out when the drive was discontinued. Sorry!

I'll plug in my external hard drive and see. My only concern would be the slower USB 2.0 port. I have a 3 terabyte drive inside the AIOS and I play Blu-ray iso files all the time. I'll rip a disk to folders instead and put it on the portable drive that will connect via the front USB port. I'm copying a set of Blu-ray files to the player today, so I'll see how well it works versus .iso.

the cheaper drives dont come with software. Use imgburn for burning data to disk, Windows for playing DVDs, and MakeMKV+VLC for blueray :) or buy a $100+ drive that comes with software.

M-Disks are only available in DVD format now, 4.7GB. According the manufacturer facebook page, the new BluRay version, 25GB, should be out just after the new year. Their web site says the new BluRay M-Disk will be burnable in any BluRay burner. I'm watching their fb page for more news.

No, this drive will not support BDXL burning. You will need to find certain other Pioneer blu ray drives that can support that.

ive been burning with amazon's basic dvd+r stuff for a while and after a few hundred disks, very few fails.i think my drive is burning up now, is the only problem, but its old and has about 1k burns through it.

I do not know, but have read that it can only burn single discs, not a dual layer disc/ I have not attempted any other than 25gb BD discs.

I have been using DIGISTOR BD-R White printable discs (25GB). I have burned videos on about 35 discs & have not had a failure to date. Interesting enough, Digistor brand was the least expensive Blu-ray disc at the time of my purchase. Hope this helps.
