This is not suitable for the Aluminium imac ranges because the feeding depth is 25mm and not the required 35mm to reach through the aluminium casing unit.

Brand new Panasonic (Matsushita) UJ-225 slimline, slot loading multi DVD and Blue-Ray DVD burner offers full 8X recording speeds on DVD±R Discs and the ability to record on DVD+R Double Layer and DVD-RAM formats, including DVD±RW and CD-R/RW. This drive is the replacement for UJ-845 & UJ-846 models.

It can be used in the 12" & 14" iBook G4, Titanium (replacement brackets & cable may be required for earlier Titanium models), Aluminium 12", 15" & 17" PowerBooks and in the MacBook Pro 17". Because this drive is a direct manufacturers replacement for the earlier Matsushita drives Apple fitted in these laptops, the original optical bezels will fit these new drives.
This drive is not suitable for the 13" MacBook or 15" MacBook Pro as these laptops use a thinner format drive (UJ-857).
Disk buring is directly supported within OSX 10.4 or later. There is no manual, software or mounting hardware included. Mac OS X is not capable of playing Blue-Ray films natively. This drive will burn, rip and copy blue-rays, but to play a blue-ray film you would need 3rd party software. 

This Drive has been discontinued and replaced with the UJ 875 which is listed on our site as a different product.
