  Best replacemente for dead superdrive

  Posted by Eduardo Frade miranda on June 21, 2009 at 4:44 pm

  Hi there,

  I have a dead superdrive (PIONEER DVR-112D). It does not read or burn anything, but still apears on the system profile. Whats the best replecement option? Another Pioneer? Or should I look for something else?

  I found this one the closest to the one I have:

  https://eshop.macsales.com/item/Pioneer/DVR117DBK/

  Is it the new version of the DVR-112D ? Will it fit my sys?

  That’s the dead drive on my Mac Pro:

  PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-112D:

  Firmware Revision: BC14
  Interconnect: ATAPI
  Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
  Cache: 2000 KB
  Reads DVD: Yes
  CD-Write: -R, -RW
  DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
  Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
  Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds

  thanks,

  Eduardo

  I just purchased this:
  https://store.mcetech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=DVDR22XDT-D&Category_Code=STORDVDRW&Product_Count=2
  It’s $3 more but 22x instead of 20x. I think as long as it says it works in your mac it’ll be fine.
