The simple answer is YES, I use it with a Mac, it works very well. You'll need Blueray player software to play Blueray discs - I use:
Macblurayplayer and VLC player. I have not written Blueray discs but that should be possible with Roxio Toast which I use to write standard DVDs.

Hope this helps.

I don't have a MBP, but as far as Apple and Yosemite compatibility - it works with my late 2013 iMac running Yosemite. I didn't even install any of the drivers or software that comes with the drive. I use Mac Blu-ray player and it all works perfect together.

Question 3

Is the SAMSUNG USB 2.0 Slim Portable Blu-ray Writer Model SE-506CB/RSWD Compatible with Windows 10 and Alienware 13?

Accepted Answer

holla good afternoon the problem is that the blue ray discs not read the records I blue- ray cd but I can not watch movies blue - ray and has nero home, I put clener cd and as usual, I can do everything in the cd part. when I put a regular movie is normal, when you buy me burn a blue-ray after no.

Question 4

is this an all-region dvd burner?

Accepted Answer

I do not know. I have tried mine only a few times and have been very disappointed. It does read fast enough or there is some other issue, but it plays a movie, stops, appears to read more, continues on for about 30 seconds, stops and repeats this process. Further, it is NOT supported by Samsung. You have to go to a third party site to get the required drivers. I advise you to buy a different unit.

Question 5

Will this read 4K (UHD) Blu-rays?

Accepted Answer

Yes it will, BUT this is NOT A GOOD UNIT TO BUY! This unit is NOT supported by Samsung. You will NOT find it on their website. It runs out of memory, I believe this is called an under buffer issue. This causes the movie to stop while it refills the memory.  When and if you find the software for it, it is not easy to install.

Question 6

okay for windows 10?

Accepted Answer

Using windows 7...... Don't know about 10..... Sorry

Question 8

how many gigs do you need free on HD to use this burner?

Accepted Answer

This little Bruray rocks doesn't take up much ram or space to run. I can run off old laptops and tablets just fine. It even runs off my tv. I would recommend this to anyone limited on space and or is running a note or Mac lite. A+++

Question 9

Is this product compatible with an Apple iMac?

Accepted Answer

I don't know. I am using it with my windows 8.1 desktop. I can tell you that it barely plays the brand new Blu-ray movie disk I bought and downloading and installing the drivers was far from straight forward. I would DEFINITELY NOT buy this product again. It is not an issue with my machine as I have tried it on both my ASUS tower M51BC series which is only 3 months old and my ASUS G750JN-BSI7N24 Laptop.  Both machines are less than 3 months old.

Question 10

Just to confirm we can burn blueray disk with this writer ?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I have this disc drive and have burned BD-R discs. If you look at the specs on this page, you can see the WRITE Speed for each disc type.
