This how-to should work with just about any compatible model aftermarket internal drive, but I would Google the exact type before you order it. I used an LG BH10LS30, but Amazon no longer sells them. For example, the LG WH10LS30 is not fully compatible with all Mac Pro models (it works with the Mac Pro 5. The Mac Pro so far works with ‘any compatible model’ but that is the problem: Several blu-ray burner models don’t work with OS X. So I think it’s safe to say Blu-ray works with all Mac Pro models, at least in this time-line. So far, I have received mails from people claiming successfully building the BH10LS30 in Mac Pro models from 1.1 (week 32, 2006) to the Mac Pro 2010 models. Update: It’s hard to find info about what models are supported. I don’t understand why people make such a big deal out of this or why Apple doesn’t sell them.

Add a Blu-ray burner to your Mac ProĪdding a Blu-ray burner to your Mac Pro can be done cheap, fast and easy. You might want to get up to speed with Blu-ray first and read a little introduction about what Blu-ray disks are and where the standard comes from.
