What's the difference between the DVR-A05 and the DVR-A05SPK3 at newegg?
From looking at the front of the drive in their pic, do you think it will fit in a MDD PowerMac?Originally posted by meta-ghost
Mine arrived today and is going in a G4 450.
Bought through NewEgg.com.

I didn't realize it would have DVD RW. That's awesome.
They should put it in their specs because it's a good selling point for backups etc. Probably because they don't sell the disks for DVD-RW.Originally posted by arn
All superdrive's that Apple has shipped has supported DVD-RW. Apple doesn't list it in their specs... but it works.

I don't think Apple officially supports DVD-RW. I know there are ways to get around it, but IIRC, they don't officially support DVD-RW.Originally posted by pgwalsh

I'm looking into purchasing a new dp 867 machine and want to add a superdrive on my own so this DVR-A05SPK3 drive sounds like the solution... as long as it works with iDVD or DVD studiopro. The price on the newegg.com site isn't much more than the 2x drive found here: http://www.supermediastore.com/piondvdvdbur1.html
If any of you know of any problems with what I want to do, please drop me a line.
Thanks!

I think it makes sense, but they need to differenciate the models and make the price differece worth the money. The processor speed, HD, and Ram are the only real difference between the middle and highend model. If you added that feature to the low end (which I think they should), I think some consumers would get a lesser model.Originally posted by pretentious
Anyone think that it is going to be all superdrives in all desktop models at this coming MW? It would be a very Apple thing to do.
