Does the USB SuperDrive support Accurate Stream, C2 Error Flags and Over-reading?
I am considering the purchase of a USB SuperDrive for use with my MacBook Air, primarily for high-quality ripping of audio CDs but before splashing out, I need to know if it supports Accurate Stream, C2 Error Flags and Over-reading. These features are pre-requisites for Secure Ripping of audio CDs.

Will this work with the upcoming iMac?
The new iMac that's due out in the coming months does not have an optical drive and I was just wondering if anyone knows whether this drive is the solution for those of us who still require CD/DVD burning ability. Cheers.

Best Answer:In the uk I've just been into PC World (biggest computing retailer on the high street) who categorically tell me it will work; their staff have been trained by Apple on this. They referred me to the new iMac info on line, look where they describe the rear sockets , USBs and its states you can use these for your peripherals eg SuperDrive. I'm assured by this otherwise I was going to grab an old machine!!

Apple Super Drive- Can it be mounted in any orientation such as vertical, upside down, or at an angle with no effect on performance or damage to CDs?
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.

what is maximum size CD-R usable? 650mb or 7000mb? How can size be selected to optimize disc creation?
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??

AnswerUnfortunately not. No external drives of any kind are supported on iOS devices. You must first rip, convert for iPad, and then sync your DVDs to your ipad for viewing.
