The Apple superdrive
- giantrobot 1y agoWhile I've ripped hundreds of discs with mine, they do have some downsides. It can be a bitch and a half to get a disc out if it can't be read properly. Even drutil wouldn't eject such discs. There's also no way to use mini CD/DVDs with them. Not that those were ever super popular but if you have any it's an annoyance. I replaced my SuperDrive with an 5.25" internal drive in an external powered enclosure. I can always get unreadable discs out easily, have no problem with mini discs, and I'm not stuck with an extremely short USB cable. A SuperDrive isn't a bad option but there's better available.
