NOT COMPATIBLE with OS X 10.10 Yosemite

Although the description of this product states that it is compatible with iMAC, it is not compatible with OS X 10.10 Yosimite installed on my iMAC which is not explained in the description . If there is ever a device that runs Yosemite OS, I would buy it. Of course I had to send them back.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • unreliable

Add. CD/DVD burner

I don't like that this 3.0 drive is very slow to read and write. I am using a USB 3.0 port on my computer, a 3.0 cable and extras. Power cord, but the drive is slower than the 2.0 burner that came with my desktop computer.

Pros
  • External components
Cons
  • Something's wrong
