[X4U] Replacement Optical drive for MacPro

[Robert]

I have had a bluray drive in my mac pro for 4 or 5 years. I do not run windows. I use toast with their bluray init and have made both bluray movie disks (wish apple would come out with ibluray) and bluray data disks. My super drive is still working but I never use it. Bob
