The drive is made of aluminum and has a slim, square form factor.
Like all other Apple drives, the USB SuperDrive cannot play Blu-ray discs. The device cannot easily use miniCDs or miniDVDs. Since the original MacBook Air, introduced in 2008, did not feature a built-in optical drive, Apple released an external USB powered drive called the “USB SuperDrive.” This slim drive connects to a computer’s USB-A port and can read and write both CDs and DVDs.

MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro models with USB-C ports require a USB-C to USB adapter (sold separately) to use Apple USB SuperDrive. The PowerCD is built with a black plastic case and a circular cover over the CD loading bay. The Apple USB SuperDrive is compatible with Mac models from 2008 and later that dont have a built-in optical drive. The device came with a remote, and it can be used with a stand which holds it up at 45 degrees. Like the previous drives, the PowerCD can transfer data using a SCSI connection or play an audio CD. In 1993, Apple released the PowerCD, a new drive that could be powered entirely by batteries. The new drives usually have a white case and some use a tray-loading mechanism. This drive is decked out in a beige plastic case with small grooves running along its length.Īpple updated the drive in 1991, with the new version branded as the AppleCD SC Plus along with several other names like the 150, 300, 300e, 300e Plus, and 600e Plus. CDs have to be placed into a CD caddy before they can be inserted into the AppleCD SC. The drive also supports playing CD audio and can output stereo audio from two RCA jacks on the rear. The original model, called the AppleCD SC, can read CD-ROMs and output the data via two SCSI ports on the back of the device. The first optical drive from Apple was branded as the “AppleCD” and released in 1988. Apple released multiple external optical drives which can read CDs and DVDs, but they never sold-and likely never will sell-a Blu-ray capable reader.
An optical drive is a device that can read data from an optical disc such as a CD, DVD, or Blu-ray disc.
