Click to expand... yes you can. an optibay is a device that will allow you to fit a hard drive where the superdrive usually is (voids warranty)

mulo macrumors 68020 Aug 22, 2010 2,267 5 Behind you Oct 4, 2010 #7 you can use an external superdrive alright. I just wouldn't void my warranty for an optibay. (by law we get two years warranty in my country! )
