Optical Drive Upgrades for Almost Every Mac Introduced Over the Last Decade
Whether upgrading from a factory-installed read-only drive, replacing an older slower SuperDrive, or expanding drive configuration, OWC has internal and external SuperDrive upgrades available for nearly every desktop/tower and notebook Mac computer model introduced over the last decade, including Mac Pro; PowerMac G3/G4/G5; G4 Cube; iMac G4/G5; Mac mini; eMac; PowerBook G4 Titanium 15″; PowerBook G4 12/15/17″ Aluminum; and iBook G4.

“You don’t need to buy a new Mac to have the latest optical drive technology,” said Larry O’Connor, President, Other World Computing. “It’s very cost effective and easy to upgrade your existing Mac with today’s faster optical drive solutions featuring the latest read/write technologies. For some Macs, just replacing the stock optical drive with an OWC SuperDrive is all that is needed to use Apple Leopard OS 10.5, in addition to enjoying all the extra capabilities of the new drive.”

OWC SuperDrive Upgrades have been fully tested for compatibility with most Apple and Windows built-in and third party DVD/CD tools and players, including Apple iTunes, Apple Disc Burner, Apple iDVD, Apple DVD Studio Pro, EMC Retrospect Express, NTI DragonBurn, Roxio Toast, Roxio Easy Media Creator, and Nero Burning.
