Q: installing a blue ray drive, best how-to?
Hi all,
on my Mac Pro (2010, 5.1) i would like to install a blu ray burner. What would be the best how-to?
- install it internally on the second cd/dvd tray
- install it externally via usb2?
Are there special hardware considerations i must have in mind ordering the drive for internally? For example, are there some drives which have a too voluminous cd drawer that woun´t fit the Macintoshs front door? Or similar stupid traps i can fall in?
Thank you!
greetings from germany

All right, so i must use a usb br burner drive.
But what are the reasons why i can´t install it internally?
- osx drivers?
- will it corrupt my yosemity / bootcamp installation?
- physical dimensions? front door of mac pro 2010/5.1 too small?
Would there be any chance to utilize a internal drive from the bootcamp side?
What is the second cd/dvd bay really useful for?
Thank you!
greetings from germany
