It works on my Mac Studio, so I'd say yes. It's labelling as being Mac-compatible

Buy the USB to SATA adapter accordingly. If you're going to convert the 5.25-inch internal DVD burner, buy the ones come with a power supply. You will need it.

In for 1.
The comments below DO NOT apply to everyone, only the guy I was replying to.
Think about this, the guy has hundreds and hundreds of DVDs. How is he going to make a backup copy of just 1 dvd?
two options:
1. buy one $20.00 8x burner, rip each dvd to ISO iso from it, then write a new disk with the backup.
2. buy two $20.00 8x burners, 1 for reading and 1 for writing.
Both options above are painful if you have that many DVDs and you want to back them ALL up.
Clearly if he uses option 1, he needs a lot of storage, but at least he will have an ISO backup, and then also burning a disk backup.
Therefore, if he does have the HDD storage available, and a PC that has some SATA ports. he could spend the same 40.00 dollars and buy 4 of these.

From there, you can rip multiple DVDs at once at a much faster speed, and turn around and burn multiple different DVDs at once, the key here being speed and # of operation at once.
Safecopy is the friend of anyone with iffy cds and is comfortable with the Linux command line. It will recover anything that can be recovered from a CD that is stored in less than "super clean environment" (like stuffed back on a spindle with the rest of the written CDs).
In reality, I'd recommend two (duplicate) external HDDs as a replacement, preferably with some sort of PAR2 data on each. Of course, I managed to have an issue with a (super slickdeal) 6TB external drive and safecopy couldn't recover 32MB of space (.005% of the data, but that drive is shot).
Cloud: should be good as long as you keep paying and the company feels like staying in business. When they decide to shutdown, expect a month's warning at best. Don't expect to be able to transfer the data anywhere. Also hope you don't have data caps if you want to download.
Storing at home (or perhaps an offsite location). Pay all at once, no ongoing fees (except for possibly storage). No guarantee your data is valid (few people can afford a spare server to test their backup data, although you probably are storing in on a windows filesystem, so can check that. I had no idea my 6TB HDD had any data missing). Vastly easier to restore data (unless you are using CDs/DVDs/Bluray, then expect to get tired swapping discs).
