Complete Kit for 2006-2012 Mac Pro models
Read and write Blu-ray discs at 16x with the WH16NS40 that allows you to record up to 128GB of files, photos, or documents onto a quad-layer BD-R disc. SATA interface technology allows for easier integration and faster performance while M-DISC™ provides superior reliability in data storage that is perfect for archiving important data.
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.
Can't Find an IDE/ATA Drive? No Problem.
Just because IDE/ATA optical drives are no longer made doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to upgrade your 2006-2008 Mac Pro model. These Mac Pro models actually have two factory open SATA ports that go unused. So we provide all the cabling and instructions in this kit that you need to utilize one for your optical drive upgrade.
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.
M-DISC - The Perfect Long-Term Archive Solution
The WH16NS40 supports the revolutionary M-DISC format, making it the ideal solution for reliable long-term backup and archiving. Compared to other recordable storage media like DVDs and Tape, M-DISC offers superior reliability and protection against data loss that will last a thousand years (or more)!
M-DISCs use a proprietary layer made from inorganic, rock-like material for permanent data storage, protected from data rot and extremes of light, humidity and temperature change. Once written, the M-DISC can be read or played on any quality DVD drive that supports the common DVD+R/RW format. Shop our selection of M-DISC Optical Media.

Works great, easy to install (with the video instructions).
Great price, works great, easy to install. Hopefully you've updated your compatibility info, though, because my mid-2012 Mac Pro was not listed as compatible as per the specs page and it took two calls to tech support to determine that it indeed was. It is indeed compatible, works great.
I would recommend this product to a friend!
