Apple SuperDrive Gets Faster....For Free

Posted by timothy on from the good-upgrade dept.

garaxiel writes "Just made a punch over to apple's website to notice a link detailing an update to all SuperDrives (or most; they provide a way to check if you're up to date) so that the superdrive can use the newer, faster media. Heck, if this is all I had to do to get a faster burner back in the day, I would have gladly switched to Apple!"

    You can get the drive to burn faster. Just add more gasoline. For real performance try some liquid oxygen.

    And Mac users can't seem to understand why everyone else thinks they're stupid.

    They can't even read!

  7. What's the big deal? by commodoresloat · · Score: 4, Funny

    Superdrive, so what? I had one of these plugged into my Mac Plus. It let me burn 800K floppies and 1.4M floppies. Big deal, so they made a faster one; who uses floppies anymore anyway?
