I have a 15" rMBP running 10.8.2: I'm having issues with reading CDs, DVDs, BDs from an external optical drive.

At first I suspected I had a faulty optical drive, so I bought a new one. That didn't fix the issue, so I bought another one. So I have three optical drives and none of them work. I have tried each on my other Macs and they work perfectly, so I suspect something wrong with Mac. The issue is the same if I connect directly the computer or if I connect them to my Thunderbolt display. I already tried my media on other computers and again they read fine.

I don't recall having this issues before going to 10.8.2 (from 10.8.1), so I'm wondering if I encountered a snafu or is anyone having this issue? (Or did Apple now limit optical use to the Apple external optical drive only?)
