Check with the drive compatibility list at xlr8yourmac. There's 30 reader reports on this drive you can read.

I had already checked. All the drives were used in tower macs, not with an imac in an enclosure.

what imac?
and what enclosure?
i have an imac 266 that i added an internal burner externally by getting a longer ide cable and splitting the power to the hardrive

it works

or are u just asking if the burner is compatible? cause if it works in a tower, then it is compatible

It's a 500MHz G3 iMac the enclosure is this one

well the enclosure looks like it will work
and if the burner is compatible with any mac then, i think, it should all work all together

im sure u have firewire on your imac

But the real question is will the dvd-rom work? meaning will the imac be able to play dvd's off it?
