Unpack, connect, blank pure and burning - it's that simple. The description is a bit misleading: "Apple" and "the Mac system is not supported" ...... of course the burner works on MAC. I bought the drive because the SuperDrive in the MacBook does not support DVD-RAM. Have the drive easily infected and can now just as the internal SuperDrive, as Brenner hernehmen - and now available with DVD-RAM compatibility.
