Pioneer BDR-206

[TapDatMac]

I have recently built a new hackintosh. I used the Asus Rampage III Gene, 3x2GB Corsair Ram, 2xGTX 470 w/modified com.apple.boot.plist, Cire i7-950, 2x1TB Hard drives, and the Pioneer BDR-206.

For some unknown reason I can not get anything to burn on the drive. Whenever I try to access it the system becomes slow to respond.

I have it plugged into the first SATA II port using AHCI for everything. The system seems to recognize the drive but it takes a while.

Using Toast is a nightmare. Whenever I start the program it hangs with the spinning beach ball-o-death for a while, then responds. When i click anything it slows to a crawl again.

The rest of the system works perfectly.

 

Any help or ideas on how to solve this issue would be appreciated. Thanks

When I was shopping to build my system, I looked at this one (yours), but,

I think blu-ray writing support happened after 2009 for OSX and is spotty.

 

I've also read that blu-ray by LG is also iffy for Hackintosh. It is best to get one that Apple uses.

I think Apple Store sells the next generation of your Pioneer blu-ray, maybe it is external.

 

You could install Pinguy which is no work afterwards. I think your Pioneer will

have good drivers in both Windows and Linux. Apple is notorious about not supporting blu-ray.
