I have a late 2013 Macbook Retina 15" 2.3 GHz i7 and was wondering about purchasing two Apple USB SuperDrives, i.e. one for each USB port. I have a number of DVDs I want to add to my hand-coded media entertainment app and running two drives simultaneously would make the import process much quicker.

My assumption would be that you can, but any info from others would be much appreciated.

I have a super drive and 700mb CD-R I want to use to create MP3 disc from iTunes. According to Apple Support regarding iTunes files, a 650mb CD-R should store about 150 MP3 files. I want to store 123 files onto a 700mb CD-R and have to do it on two discs. Why isn't it working???? Is there any way to inform the super drive driver of the CD-R size so write adjustments are made??

I am looking at mounting my super drive in a vertical position on my desk so it is up out of the way. I know some CD/DVD rom drives can not be mounted in a vertical position or used in a vertical position. Can the Super Drives be mounted in any orientation or are there restrictions to ensure proper performance.
