6096 Fastmac today announced the first & only 8x SuperDrive upgrade for Apple's MacBook 13-inch & MacBook Pro 15-inch computers. The new drive uses one of the fastest & most compatible optical drive mechanisms to provide single layer DVD burning at up to 8x speeds and dual layer burning at up to 4x speeds. Fastmac's 8x SuperDrive upgrade for MacBooks is available now from http://www.fastmac.com for a special introductory price of $179.95. Each drive carries a 1-year warranty and a 30-day money back guarantee.

I have an older-model 8x Fastmac SuperDrove upgrade in my Pismo PowerBook, and it's been an absolutely flawless performer.

Fastmac's new 9.5mm ultra slim slot loading 8x SuperDrive is built specifically for Apple's MacBook 13-inch & MacBook Pro 15-inch computers: its chassis is thin enough to fit perfectly (without modification) inside Apple's latest Intel based laptops unlike the standard slim-line drives found in earlier PowerBooks and iBook G4s. It replaces Apple's original slow speed Combo or SuperDrive with a 100% compatible, plug & play internal drive that is 8 times faster than the MacBook Pro's original optical drive. While the drive is user installable, professional install is highly recommended and is available through authorized dealers or via a 24-hour installation service provided by Fastmac directly for an additional $89.95. Using a box in the mail service provided by DHL, Fastmac will pick up the customer's MacBook or MacBook Pro, install the 8x SuperDrive upgrade and return the computer back to the customer, all within 24 hours. The optical drive upgrade can also be combined with a hard drive upgrade to obtain an almost new MacBook or MacBook Pro. Upgrade pricing starts at $99.95 for a 160GB 5400 RPM Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive featuring 8MB data buffer cache and a 3-year warranty.

Fastmac's ultra slim slot loading 8x SuperDrive for MacBook & MacBook Pro supports reading, writing and re-writing to single and dual/ double layer mode on DVDs, DVD-RAM and CDs.
