And most are cheaperIts fine..Every single external drive on Amazon works just as well, or better, on modern macOS than the SuperDrive.

And right now is a great time to buy used CDs given the price, and there are so many records that never made it to streaming. I actually end up using my Superdrive fairly regularly.As an 80s kid and 90s teen, there is just something about disc based media that will always hold a special place in my heart.
Last time I ripped some new CDs for use in iTunes? About five days ago. For some of us, ownership of our collection matters.
Yup. Also the SuperDrive was not a standard USB drive and had problems working on non-Macs. Any other USB optical drive you buy will work on any computer.You can still use most and random USB CD / DVD Drive from Amazon for under $20

Yep. There is a hierarchy for post-apocalyptic civilisation reboot:
Analogue physical media (books and records).
Digital physical media (tapes, CD).
Hard drives.
Cloud (near useless).
Yes and no. Latest reports say they are on track to release the SuperDrive 2 with the Thunderbolt 5 introduction. With 80 Gbps, it'll be able to burn a dual layer DVD in less than a second.Do you think it will be USB-C???
TAKE MY MONEY!!Yes and no. Latest reports say they are on track to release the SuperDrive 2 with the Thunderbolt 5 introduction.

Just bought a new Denon CD-player since I never got rid of my collection like everyone else.As an 80s kid and 90s teen, there is just something about disc based media that will always hold a special place in my heart.
Bought a new Magic Trackpad for $50 the other week from amazon. Figure a USB-C version is coming but I don't care about the charging connection on it.I expect a bunch of old Apple accessories to be discontinued by the end of the year. Apple promised to remove the outer plastic wrap from all their product packagingby the end of 2024, and they’re not gonna go to the trouble of redesigning the packaging for ancient accessories.
The fireworks should be glorious!!Burn a cd in five seconds.

Apple used slot type drives. I always loved the way it would gently grab the disk and slide in. Very elegant. I still have one for the very few times I need to access a disk.As an 80s kid and 90s teen, there is just something about disc based media that will always hold a special place in my heart.

Yes I was on the fence on that one. But you need a decider to listen to magnetic tape. You only need a needle and a piece of paper to listen to a record. And just a pair of eyes for a book. I wanted to make that distinction.Cassette tapes are analogue physical media, not digital
