Replace Your PowerMac G4's optical drive with this CD/DVD reader

The LG Super-Multi DVD/CD-ROM is the perfect replacement optical drive solution for your Power Mac G4. Designed for storage needs that demand consistency, when installed in the G4, this drive reads in CD, DVD+R, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM formats giving you the option to choose the media best suited for each task.

Convert SATA drives for use in your PowerMac G4

The Addonics IDE/ATAPI to SATA converter is the perfect solution to convert a Serial ATA (SATA) optical storage device like the LG Super-Multi GH24NSBOB to a standard IDE interface such as the one found in your G4. Attach this converter to the back of the optical drive and you're ready to install. When connected via this adapter to an IDE interface, The LG Super-Multi GH24NSBOB operates as a CD/DVD-ROM only and does not support writing to optical disk.

M-DISC - The Perfect Long-Term Archive Solution

The LG Super-Multi DVD/CD-ROM optical drive supports the revolutionary M-DISC format, making it the ideal solution for reliable long-term backup and archiving. Compared to other recordable storage media like DVDs and Tape, M-DISC offers superior reliability and protection against data loss that will last a thousand years (or more)!

M-DISCs use a proprietary layer made from inorganic, rock-like material for permanent data storage, protected from data rot and extremes of light, humidity and temperature change. Once written, the M-DISC can be read or played on any quality DVD drive that supports the common DVD+R/RW format. Shop our selection of M-DISC Optical Media.
