SuperDrive issues on thousands of MacBooks – what a shame, Apple!
Exploring Widespread SuperDrive Problems
by Doug McLean
TidBITS reader Jim Griffiths recently tipped us off to a widespread issue with SuperDrives: the inability of some drives to read or write to discs. In his particular case, a MacBook Pro began having difficulty reading all kinds of optical discs shortly after its warranty expired. This led him to start a thread describing the problem in the Apple Support Discussion forums.
As of this writing, that thread now contains over 225 messages and has been viewed over 30,000 times. Those are big numbers for the forums – and in fact a similar thread has garnered more than 19,000 views – and indicate that Jim is far from the only one experiencing this problem.
