Customer Review

Have the unit just tried and packed again after a few hours and will send it back ...

Main features:
iMac Late 2013 Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks).

My part came preloaded with firmware SE 208DB_TS01.
Have after it had trouble reading the supplied DVD, tried to upgrade to the available at Samsung for the Mac version TS02 ...
The app, which is to make the (TSDNMAC.app) is from 2008 ...
On my iMac I was bypassing the sandboxing (... this app is not from a certified developer and can not be opened ...) launch the app and select the app in the drive and the bin file, but after to. to 1hr wait was still there from nothing. (Am. Is only 1MB)

Then I wanted to try to use the device with the existing firmware ...
When I tried to copy the Nero software (Windows only) on the computer, the drive threw himself.
After a few seconds pressure on the eject button the DVD came out again.
I pushed her again purely ... It was ever recognized after several spinups only (took after 1 min. ...).
Another DVD also, also 2 music CD's. A game disc runs in 3 other drives, has not been identified.

Defective equipment?

Conclusion:
TOO MANY NEGATIVE POINTS:
Firmware update with a current Apple operating system impossible.
Rickety plastic box (drawer can be in the open state without effort 3-4cm move horizontally)
Drawer full manual (goes only 1cm, does not drive out and not purely ...)
DVD must also be pressed manually onto a holder (very fiddly)

.... Probably too !! something cheap ...

Addendum 01.06.2014:
Now have a higher quality device in use.
Can I recommend it as automatic drawer, faster than the portable Slim Devices, rel. quiet reading and burning, otherwise silent and at rest:
LG Super Multi Blue BE14NU40 external BluRay burner (14x Speed, USB 3.0)
Although costs 2.5 times, but can also BlueRay.
An adequate partner for new Macs.
