My intel super drive died.
Before I can get it repaired..I've got some work that needs to be done.
Mac's External Superdrive appears to work only with Mini & Air.
Want to know what folks are using to "limp along"

I prefer one of LaCie's dual-layer DVD±RW externals, using FireWire.

LaCie quit making them ;-(. OWS has a firewire for about 150.
in looking around:
Samsung SE-S084D Turned out to be a "dumb luck " Solution. Got it at a local PC repair place and then also discovered it on Amazon [they have a newer one i think]. Works PCs as well. Mac Logo on the box.
My machine is 2010 and I burned less than 200 dvd's [disks from tv] I've only had one Apple componet fail on me since 1988 [hard dive for SE]. But the thought of having to give up the i5, have it opened and then hope for another 2 years...gives me pause.
The $60.00 Samsung gives me relief.
When plugged in to a dedicated USP port...I'm impressed with the speed.
Less than 20 min for the image and less than 20 for write-verify. Over 5 hrs of TV.
The 'Sam is good enough for now.
I was able to find the same LaCie burner I have here
although it is only available in store, but maybe you happen to be located near one...
And, there's also these: http://www.lacie.com/products/range.htm?id=10037
Obviously my review of the LaCie Website was incomplete! Many thanks.
