I installed an LG optical drive into the second bay of my 2010 Mac Pro. The drive is a Blu-ray reader, but only a DVD writer. My understanding is that this should work ok, though I won't get Blu-ray features obviously.
The problem that I have is that OSX seems to "hit" the drive frequently and I can hear the optical drive's head seeking back and forth. Also I can see the drive's blue light flashing. Right now this is happening every 30 seconds or so. There is no disk in the drive.
Is this some type of incompatibility, or is there some setting that I have incorrect?
It almost reminds me of an old MBP issue where it wanted to constantly park the heads.
Thanks
