FastMac ships 8X Dual Layer SuperDrives

FastMac has announced the availability of new slim line 8X Dual Layer SuperDrives. The drives do not require any software patch or other update for compatibility. They are 100 percent plug and play compatible with all versions of OS X and natively support burning directly through the Finder as well as through Apple’s iLife Suite (iTunes, iDVD, etc). The drives, available while supplies last, are available for $150 and include a 1-year warranty and 30 day money back guarantee; they are available for iMac G5s ($150), G3 PowerBooks (Pismo and Lombard), G4 PowerBooks (Titanium and Aluminum), G4 iBooks, Mac minis, and PowerMac G4 Cubes. All optical drive purchases also include a free copy of Mac OS 10.3 “Panther”. Drives for the Power Mac G4 Cube and Titanium PowerBooks (with DVD-ROM or CD-ROM read-only drive) are $200.

not very different than any other internal mobile drive on the market... and I didn't see any mention of buying back the drive you currently have installed for a rebate.

You can buy these for roughly half the price at newegg.com or zipzoomfly.com

Now that iLife 06 supports DVD writers from "third party" manufacturers, does anyone know what brands work in Powerbook and PowerMacs?
