I have not bought the adapter myself and operate the drive internally (I am absolutely satisfied with the product, fair price). I looked at the adapter, and according to its description, the drive should also be able to be operated externally.
Let's put it this way: Very probably, no drivers are needed because the API is standard, but without guarantee. And from then on, e.g. Roxio Toast. Or whatever.
I myself have tried several LGs on a 2009 with Sierra and 2-3 versions before.
The product comes with CyberLink MediaSuite 10 for BluRay (OEM version) and includes the PowerDVD 12 player, which can also play Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D.
