It's like using hard disk drives that are not Apple-branded: works fine, as long as you use a third-party driver. The CD extension that comes with MacOS won't accept non-branded drives and needs to be replaced. That's it. You can also hack the Apple CD extension to accept every drive. See here.
that is awesome thanks!
