Yes. It works on both my iMac's. I have used it on my 10 year old iMac running El Capitan and my brand new iMac running Catalina 10.15.2.

The LG 8x Portable DVD Rewriter with M-DISC™, Model # AP70NS50 is compatible with Mac OS X v.10.5.4 or Higher, Direct X 9.0 or Higher Operating Systems. The system environment requirements are for a hard drive with 20 GB or more free space (the free space needed for writing depends on the quantity of the data). You will need 256 MB or larger for the memory (Recommended: 128 MB). The device only comes with a Windows Software Installation disc so you may want to check the Mac site to see if they have drivers available for this unit.. If you have additional questions regarding our drive, give our computer specialists a call at 800-243-0000. ^CP
