Hi Nick, how's the BR drive doing? Is it still working ok? Any issues or weird things? What OS do you have installed at the moment?

[nickmurray22]

@jowieh Yes still working fine, OS is Lion. : )

ah, just now i was thinking about the same thing. thanks for the video. hey, would it work for the 2005 power g5 also, yes?

@EarthSuperDragon The G5 Mac Pros have older IDE cables I believe, make sure you can get a BR drive that has IDE interface.
