So this definitely can burn cds correct? I am new to this stuff and have a chromebox and imac, so I need a good product for playing / burning cd/dvds.

Yes - this can burn CDs and DVDs, and will not play or burn Blu-Ray. This is a good drive for a Mac. I am not familiar with chromebook, but think it would work for that too.

I wouldn't take a chance. It was supposed to work on my Imac and it read CD's and DVD's but wouldn't burn a DVD. I got a new drive from Apple and it works like a charm. I don't trust this product.

Yes it can burn mini CDs. Do you have Nero 12-15 cause if you do I'm sure it will let you pretty easily

This specific model does not come with a cd/DVD burner. However, you can utilize one of the USB ports and attach an external cd/DVD burner. Also, please realize this specific model does not come with a disc reader, so there is no way of playing your cd's, or uploading any data via disc. Just thought I would point that out before you purchase!

Well, it worked (for me) on 2 Windows laptops and I was also able to burn a couple of DVD's while connected to an i5 MacMini. And I did not install any software. The laptops used Roxio, the Mac has its built-in program. I hope it works out for you.

Good question. Wish I could answer it. I just play cd's on this system and it is great for that but I am of the older generation and just do not understand all this new stuff. Sorry I could not help you.

Light scribe software is no longer exist. Unless you have a previous light scribe software then yes it will work on imac. But it does play cd and DVD.

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that one. I mainly copy music CDs. I have not copied DVDs before, but I don't see why it wouldn't copy DVDs since that is the purpose of it.

I checked with the manufacturer about the same thing. You must use the computer and then burn the CD from there. No really a bad process though.

all you're doing is wasting your time. burners have been developed and perfected to handle fast burn speeds. ESPECIALLY for something as old as CDs. you're not getting 'better results' or 'better quality' you're just wasting your time and burning the disc significantly slower than you need to

It should. It burns CDs, that's a fact. I too have used it for this purpose. But I think it depends on the program you're using for the burning as to how efficient it burns. I've used Sony software and burned 96 CDs in bunches of 30s in 3 days. It's not that expensive, so if it doesn't meet your expectations, you could always return it. Frankly, I love mine!

Absolutely! That's actually what I use it for. The only thing is if you have an iMac with an optical drive, there is no button to eject a disc but OS X sees that and puts the eject disc option in the toolbar up top. Or you can always drag the cd to the trash to eject it as well. It's cool though because with a touch of a button it can go from being your iMac keyboard to your iPad keyboard or your iPhone keyboard.

You can def use it with a Mac. That is all I use. Honestly, I didn't "lock down" the TP-LINK network so I never used the CD. I have a Apple TV hooked up to it and that is all. It is pretty decent. Not massive throughput, but does the job.

I really only use mine for loading software and for burning CDs to archive photos, but I'm perfectly certain that if you burn a DVD on it, it can be played on another DVD player. I own two of these, and the only problem I've had is one occasionally fails to latch closed reliably: it always latches eventually.

No, it will not burn DVD. Also Apple does not support older operating systems, therefore you cannot install and use software. Beautiful and functional, but limit to what you can do with it.

the external cd/dvd player/burner is connected to the pc with 2 usb cables -one for power, the other for data. i have not tried to burn a cd, but i imagine you should be able to - why not? it IS a cd/dvd "burner." but i can not say, for sure.
