Since the problem appeared to start with Mountain Lion and affects both drives, software would seem the most likely cause- except that it can't boot from distribution media. Whatever's wrong, perhaps it has something to do with optical disc media sensing. Last of all, (with power off) I unplugged the Blu-ray's SATA cable and connected one from a loose SATA hard drive.

Insert media, close tray -> "Status: Waiting." If you are not sure how to verify the drive settings in your device’s BIOS, contact the manufacturer of your device. The sequence is the same for either drive: In Toast Titanium 11's Recorder Settings window you can watch the media-loaded status of a drive. With just the Blu-ray connected (Superdrive disconnected), the only thing different is that the drive doesn't unload automatically. No matter what I load, the drive just unloads after making some noises. After boot from hard disk (10.9) it can't access any type of media-blank, factory pressed, or burned at home. Like any media I try in this drive, the drive makes some noises and the tray opens up. Can't boot from this system's original distribution DVD (Leopard 10.5.6). Using system's original Superdrive (third party Blu-ray disconnected): It's hard to be absolutely certain that they spin any more than that, but I suspect they do. I know for certain that the drives are rotating the media at least a small distance-when ejecting media, it isn't in the same rotational position as when I loaded it. We've already tried resetting PRAM and the SMC, so moving on from there: Now that is done with but Christmas still awaits so time is limited. 33 - I have a lacie hard drive which has a blue coloured usb. With the Macbook Air I tried using an adapter that appears to be USB-A to USB-C. My external hard disk is not working and light is blinking but not creating any sound. On the iMac it connects to a USB port and gets its power from the iMac. Im trying to get it to work with my new Macbook Air with the M1 chip, Big Sur 11.0.
