[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1027605, member: 8287"] Also how do you have the drives jumpered? On some older Macs I have had issues unless the Optical drives were set for Cable Select. The only issues I have ever seen or know of with Macs and after market optical drives are some due to their firmware are not fully supported. Some will read but not write and some will not work in the iApps like iTunes. But any drive that worked and was properly jumpered that I have tried has at least come up even if it did not work fully.
