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 an iMac 24 (2008) and iMac27 (2011) ... and am trying to initialize this drive on either, and the systems only seem to see 1.8TB - not 4TB. The website that they direct you to is very cagey on this - the drives say there is not problem, but there is an asterisk that says you may only be able to access 2tb of the drive. I'm wondering if you ever got this working. I am trying to install the drive in a box on the Firewire 400 and 800 channels though ... not sure if the SATA interface would be any better. This is kind of nonsense ... one would think they not want to sell these drives to people who cannot use them and have to return them for a refund ... but? Did you get your drive installed? By the way I just wonder what the people who respond to this that have no idea are trying to accomplish by that? Kind of silly wasting everyone's and their own time?

Yes. I haven't encountered any issues. These are top notch disc's. I've used them in several PC's including my older MacPro and G5 desktops. I don't have a MacBook. I haven't had any bad disc's as of yet. I still have over half of the 200 I purchased... but I think I would've had at least one go by now if the QC was lousy. Remember that the best name disc's can have bad runs, and vis versa. IMO we are at the mercy of luck in many cases. All you can do is find a "currently" high rated product, and get it fast before they rest on their laurels! I hope I didn't get too off subject for you here? But I like these discs!

The answer is already in my review:"Be also aware that any new Mac now comes without a system backup on DVD. Go to Apple support Web pages and look for « Reinstall OS X » and « Recovery Disk Assistant » for details."

I would recommend you review the full specifications at Archgon's website to verify that it the burner will meet your exact needs. But Yes, it has all the specs you asked about. It should work with the new iMac, but again, I would refer to Archgon's website for technical details.

I have OS 10.7.5. The burner works fine; seems a little slow, but I don't have much experience with other burners to compare it to. For the price, I'm very happy with it.

Dear Friend,I will quote the answer from the instructions included with the product. "For Macintosh users, you can find the software and installation instructions for MAC 10.4, 10.5 is under the MAC directory on the provided CD." I hope this answers your question.

Wish I could answer. I have iMac Lion, and a tech person installed it, future grandson-in-law. Sorry.

No it will not burn DVD. Also, you will not be able to install any software as Apple does not support older operating systems. I did not know that when I purchased mine. It is adorable and works very well, but limited as to what you can do with it.

Sorry I have no knowledge of MAC computers. I have always used Windows, what I can say is this is an excellent disc printer and performs really well, I have been using one for close to ten years without a problem. Cheers Harry Smith.

I had a similar bad experience with installing Mavericks on a similar iMac. While the additional memory was helpful, I don't think the newer OSs are exactly compatible with legacy models; we had overheating and random shutdown issues. We eventually rolled back to Snow Leopard and it's been much better since.

It is my understand you can install this version on a mac with an intel chipset however, from what I understand you need to get an extra program to help with the install. Dont recall the name off hand

If your operating system is 64/32 bit and windows 7, 8, vista or xp it will work but because you have a mac you would need to also get the additional software called final touch pro or roxio toast titanium to make the blu ray burner compatible. .if you have anymore questions you could go directly to the website www.buffalotech.com for more info..I hope this helps you out. I am currently using a hp laptop windows 7 and it works great! The unit does come with the software installation program for the blu ray burner but like I said before you would need to get one or the other additional software to make it work with your 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?)

No, it doesn't. It won't work with any iMac that was originally built with an internal CD/DVD drive. Per Apple. Amazon should change their description so that potential customers don't fall into the same trap that we did. By the time we realized that for our 2010 iMacs, the drive was an anchor, it was too late to return it.
