i bought the drive thinking that it would work saving UHDBD but unfortunately it doesn’t work on a MacBook Pro 16 with a M1 processor. Are there any ways to make it work? I’m still looking around but nothing solid as how to make it work. For regular Bd is great fast quiet .
I would recommend this product to a friend!

Great to use a fully Mac compatible BD… burner that looks good and is built like a tank. I know people aren’t thinking that these are not necessary, but I still need them. It works flawlessly. OWC makes solid everything!
