Answer
It says on the box that the superdrive won't work with any models with an existing optical drive so i presume you wouldn't be able to.

Does the SuperDrive work for finalized mini-dvds? My computer is a MacBook Air running 10.9.3.
I have finalized mini-dvds that I want to use in iMovie, but my MacBook Air doesn't have a CD Slot, nor did I read that the slots work for mini-dvds. Will the SuperDrive be able to read them and will I be able to use the files from them on my computer such as in iMovie? Thanks

AnswerYour SuperDrive will not accept mini-dvd's you may want to check what type of camera they were recorded from it may not be compatible with Apple's format...This is somewhat the same issue I was having but I have a iMac 27' and I also purchased the SuperDrive, (note) Non Apple SuperDrives will not work with Apple even though they may have the insert for the mini-dvd.

Is it safe to have the SuperDrive under a 2014 Mac Pro desktop?
It'd be nice on my desk to have the Super Drive with my Late 2014 Mac Pro (cylinder tower) sitting on top of it as A) It looks good and B) it saves room considering the Super Drive has such a short cable (I know I could use an extension but then my desk is messier and the drive is further from the computer.
I just worry if the Super Drive has had any weight tests done on it. It's a good build with the nice metal case.- Asked by Daniel W

Can USB Superdrive be used on a imac with an internal disc player?
My 27" Mac has an internal disc driver - but when inserting discs "disc not supported" is shown. Apple say driver is most probably broken. Rather than taking mac back to store can I just use the USB Superdrive?
