I've only used this drive for DVDs which works fine. I don't see why it wouldn't work it looks good with my MacBook Air too. I have no issues with this drive

Yes, any type DVD it will read but your PC program (many are free) does the processing as this is only a read/write drive for a PC/mac

It won't be as fast as an ssd drive in the slot. You might look into moving your optical drive external and putting a drive in the optical bay.

Yes it will, it uses a standard harddrive connection. I put it in a mac myself.

I have two drives, a combo drive with Apple Firmware and another non-Apple SATA DVD drive on the same ribbon. Mac OS X 10.4.11 sees them both.

My apple USB connected DVD/CD player burns disk w/out a problem...go to the makers web site and look for a driver or ask your question.

No CD/DVD drive on this model, you would need to add the Apple USB SuperDrive as an accessory.

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.

It should work. The bottom piece of the drive pulls off to expose the connectors, so that you can just slip the drive onto the Thunderbolt adapter

Yes it will ! As long as the drive is IDE/PATA it will work and it A cheap way to get an external drive and or get your data.

Most of this era iMac's have a special SuperDrive. It mounts about 1/2" further back than a normal drive. If you substitute a MacBook Drive for one of these, you will not be able to push the CD/DVD far enough into the drive, to allow the mechanism to grab the disk and pull it into the drive. I do not suggest you use this drive. Use the Profile Manager to get the part number of the installed drive, and get that exact one.

It should fit any DVD Rom bays as long as the clearance is 12.7mm, kindly check your vendor page for more info and clarification for your product specs... http://support.apple.com/kb/SP576

I'm sorry not to be able to answer you. My Iomega eGo Mac crashed before I could find out. It went Kaput. I bought a Seagate.

Yes I believe so should all be in the specs. I have had no trouble with the drive, Seems very reliable using it with my macbook retina.

This drive is too large to fit inside any Mac laptop (even if you have one that can accommodate an internal optical drive), so you'll need an external drive case. Make sure the case can accommodate a SATA drive (I imagine most cases do these days, but check anyway just in case). I suspect you'll need a case with its own power supply, the drive probably is going to draw more power than you can get over a USB bus.The other alternative would be to return it & buy an external DVD drive. You'd probably wind up with a smaller & more portable device that way.
