[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1925984, member: 38864"] Well for starters, any optical drive would be compatible with a Mac. There's nothing special about them that requires Mac compatibility. I have an old Pioneer optical drive powered by mini-USB that works fine on my M1 MBA. Requires a USB-A to USB-C adapter, of course. I haven't used it to burn anything though, but it reads DVDs and Blu-Rays just fine. ANYWAY... back to your question... gosh, did anyone's drives come with burning software for Mac? I guess some may have come with Toast at one time long ago? I know Pioneer still makes a point of saying their current drives work on Macs, but they only include Windows software. They do have a firmware updater for Mac at least. I would have thought at least OWC includes software, but nope. They may have at one time, but nothing is included now at least on the bus-powered drives they sell. [/QUOTE]
