Answer
This is not a storage device. You connect this to your computer and it allows you to play and burn CDs and DVDs. You can use it to burn a CD or DVD with your photos on. I personally would use an external hard drive to backup my photos, rather than CDs or DVDs.

Best Answer:Those are country codes for the region the product was originally intended. ZM indicates China. LL indicates USA. It would matter if it had a keyboard or something else that had regional differences, but it should not matter for a mouse or a SuperDrive.

Best Answer:Yes. The SuperDrive will do all of the things mentioned in your question. Something to keep in mind: Make sure your Mac meets the requirements for the app you're trying to install. The SuperDrive only reads/writes CD's and DVD's. It cannot install an app if your computer fails to meet certain requirements set by the app.

Does the drive have a manual release hole?
How are we to remove discs if the drive ceases to function? Does the drive have a small hole that allows manual unlocking and ejection of the disc when something such as an unwound paperclip is inserted in to it and pushed, in the traditional manner on optical drives? If not, is the drive able to be disassembled by removing screws?
