Pioneer BDR-208 - Mac Pro Kit

15X 5.25" Internal Blu-ray/DVD/CD Writer
Complete Kit for all Apple Mac Pro models

Mac / PC / DVD Multi Recorder / Rewritable / Blu-ray
 
The BDR-208DBK is an internal SATA drive featuring a 15x maximum writing speed on BD-R & BD-R DL media Tthe tray structure as been redesigned to smooth airflow and reduce operational noise. The sound barrier design that traps noise inside the drive also works to keep dust outside the drive. This makes the drive much more dust resistant than previous models and drive failure due to dust is practically nonexistent. Chassis design maximizes disc stability and write quality by reducing warping at high speed caused by disc vibration, especially on the outer areas of the disc.
Mac Pro Kit
No mater which Mac Pro you own, this kit comes with all the cabling and full-color instructions you need to add a second optical drive to your workstation.
Reads and Writes Blu-ray discs
Although commercial Blu-ray movie playback not supported in OS X, Blu-ray discs do mount on the desktop and can be backed up to the computer or played via third party software options.
