I'm the gal who just upgraded my Quicksilver to Tiger without a DVD drive.
Can I install a program on a DVD the same way? Or, as Dan said, is may be too moronic not to have a DVD drive these days. Stupid question coming up: are a DVD-RW drive, a Superdrive, and a DVD burner the same thing? Should I buy an internal or does the shape of the bays as noted below indicate an external would be better? I'm over at OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Samsung/SHS202NBLS/ looking at a Samsung and wondering if this plays DVDs as well as burns them (movies on my Mac? I am getting old!). There's also a Pioneer. I can't tell if these are external or internal though. What is disc labeling software? Does it print something on the disk, so you don't have to write in magic markers? > > > On Dec 7, 2008, at 9:20 AM, billycar_G3-5 wrote: > >>> If you can get one of those OWC drives which have no bezel and no >>> tray front (and no LED indicators), then do so for a Quicksilver. >>> The >>> QS' media bays are quite different from earlier (and later) Apples. >> >> I recently traded out a suspected bad PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D with a >> good one, same style, and didn't notice any bevel issues in the QS. >> Did I miss something? > > The DVR-111s which OWC had were Apple OEM. >> >> Is the Pioneer 116D a good one and the most recent? > > Sounds right. > > I have been buying SATA burners, only, recently.
