I feel like my system needs a 2nd superdrive, that empty slot just feels so lonely.
So I was thinking of buying the same drive that is in it, the Pioneer 112D:

40 bucks, seems like a deal. Last time I bought a DVD burner they were like 200 dollars... not sure what happened.
So anyways, is this still a good drive to choose, and is the install really as easy as adding it in the optical bay, connecting the cables, and setting the drives to cable select?
I haven't bought an optical drive in 4 years, so I have no idea what is hot now. I am assuming since this is the drive that came installed in the mac, it's not a bad idea to add a second. Just gotta figure out how to eject each drive independently.
thought about adding a blu-ray, but the cost is just too prohibitive.
