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!"

    I just upmodded you and the previous post - I don't know who is the lamer which modded the 2 of you as redundant for saying something exactly right, for the first time in this discussion, but he clearly must have had a bad day, or he feels sooo trollish tonight.

    The article IS five months old, and the previous post is also right - being a re-branded Pioneer drive, it *really* risks getting damaged if the new 4X media is inserted in a drive with the old firmware, as you can verify on pioneer's website.

    Bah.
