Other World Computing’s MercuryPB SuperDrive internal optical drive upgrades give your Aluminum or Titanium Apple PowerBook up to 24X CD-R/RW and 8X DVD+/-R/RW burn speeds.

Two versions are available:

The MercuryPBG4 SuperDrive is compatible with 12-, 15- and 17-inch Aluminum PowerBook G4s and 15-inch Titanium PowerBook G4s that run at 667-, 800-, 867MHz and 1GHz. It is immediately available for $149.95 (previously $179.95).
The MercuryTi SuperDrive is compatible with 400-, 500-, 550- and 667MHz versions of the Titanium PowerBook G4. It is immediately available for $229.95 (previously $249.95).

Both versions include NTI Dragonburn, EMC/Dantz Retrospect and 10 pieces of 8X DVD-R media. OWC also stands behind these solutions with a one-year warranty. Solutions are compatible with a number of popular software applications including Roxio Toast, NTI Dragonburn and Apple iLife applications, and are EMC/Dantz Retrospect Backup Certified.

These internal solutions are user-installable with the help of OWC’s instructions, but OWC does offer installation services for those who may feel uncomfortable doing it themselves. Also, OWC offers up to a $75 rebate/trade for the optional return of an existing drive. For more information or to order, visit www.macsales.com/PBSuperDrive.

Internal and external solutions are also available for other Apple models starting from $45. All OWC SuperDrive options can be viewed online at www.macsales.com/Superdrive.
