Do you have a Apple Powerbook G4 or 17" MacBook Pro with an older optical drive in it that's just not fast enough anymore? How about being able to burn dual-layer discs? This replacement SuperDrive is just what you're looking for!

The new OWC Mercury SuperDrive is compatible with PowerBook G4 12/15/17" (Aluminum & Titanium Models) that now has either a CD-R/RW+DVD-Rom or Superdrive DVD & CD burner installed*, and the MacBook Pro 17". See the bottom of this page for the full list of compatible systems.

*15" & 17" "Late 2005" PowerBook G4 systems - You need a different model. Click here for those options.

This is the exact same type of SuperDrive that Apple uses! You can install it into your PowerBook yourself - this drive includes detailed step by step instructions for you to accomplish the task without having to pay a dealer to install it. If you would like professional installation, OWC offers that service (for more information, please contact us for details). However, if you can change the hard drive (which, Apple's manual already covers), you can do this too!

The OWC Mercury PBG4 SuperDrive offers the best of all worlds when it comes to compatibility. The OWC Mercury PBG4 SuperDrive features:
