Internal Blu ray drive Install & MKV
Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 5:32 pm
I have been using and internal Blu ray drive, (externally connected) via a Wiebetech Ultra Drive dock v4, connected to the firewire 800 drive port of my Mac. I now would like to put this drive inside my mac, but have a few reservations.
First off, if I try to connect this drive through my Wiebetech Ultra Drive dock v4, via its eSATA connector to my Mac, (to an internally installed eSATA card) blu ray disks will not mount. Only connecting the Wiebetech Ultra Drive dock via firewire works.
I would like to use the internal eSATA connectors located on the logic board, using Other World Computing's internal eSATA & power cable adaptors. Once connected to the internal eSATA of the logic board, will the blu disk still mount? Has anyone attempted to install a BD inside a Mac Pro 2006 tower and have it still work with Make MKV, (mount blu ray disks.)
