    Rating: 5/5 This product is a perfect match for a pre-Unibody MacBook Pro September 20, 2016 It is good to know that OWC cares about the preservation of venerable pre-Unibody MacBook Pros. The OWC Mercury Internal DVD/CD Writer is a perfect match for my MacBookPro3,1. Next to a 1-TB OWC SSD, it now beautifully plays the Last Samurai movie on a 17" display. A perfect tool, as Katsumoto would say: "I belong to the warrior in whom the old ways have joined the new."

    Rating: 5/5 Great replacement and easy to install January 8, 2013 Installing the dvd drive into my 2006 MBP was easy with the OWC online videos. The only problem was the first dvd drive they sent me was not working but the second one that arrived worked perfectly.
