Review Summary
2019-05-14T10:28:18
I was excited and ready to burn Blu-ray Discs for a client and this OWC burner did not interact with my iMac or MacBook. I tried iTunes to see if it was be recognized for audio burning but there was no luck there either. After time wasted and frustration I returned it and purchased the more expensive LG Blu-ray burner that worked at the first connection without any problems. Not sure if I had a dud. The LG unit is more solid than the OWC plastic feel.
