Do you have an Apple Mac mini or Late 2005 PowerBook G4 system? Drive not working right? Or, do you already have a Superdrive, but would like to burn faster? This is the ticket - and it supports the new 8.5GB Dual Layer Burning technology too!

The new OWC Mercury SuperDrive Internal is compatible with all Mac mini systems and the PowerBook G4 "Late 2005 / Doulbe Layer SD" systems.

This is the exact same type of SuperDrive that Apple uses! You can install it into your Mac mini yourself - Check out our installation video at the bottom of this page! For PowerBook G4 "Aluminum" systems, professional installation is highly recommended. If you would like professional installation, OWC offers that service (please contact us for more information). But, if you've ever changed out your hard drive in any PowerBook or iBook model, you can do this too!

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