I just got the bare drive and discs. The drive installs as any SATA-based drive does: easily. I put mine in an external enclosure.<\/p>\n
First thing I notice is that the discs themselves are heavier (literally) than other DVD-R’s, and they are about 70% transparent.<\/p>\n
Mac sees the drive; Toast writes to it; writes are pretty slow: 13 minutes for a full disc + about the same or slightly less to verify.<\/p>\n
The discs are made somewhere in the EU.
They are more transparent after burning (a light smokey gray) that is transparent enough to read a book thru;<\/p>\n
Disc was readable by my LG Blu-Ray burner\/drive and by my Optiarc burner\/drive.<\/p>\n
So: no problems; everything worked as advertised.<\/p>\n
