Full FeedMCE offers 8x DVD-R MacBooks, 15-inch MacBook Pros
If you purchased a lower end MacBook or MacBook Pro, it most likely has a 4x or 6x drive, and can only write single-layer DVDs. MCE technologies is offering an upgrade optical drive for both MacBooks and MacBook Pros, allowing existing users to get 8x speeds with dual-layer capacity. It supports DVD+R DL (Double Layer) and DVD-R (Dual Layer) media, so it can burn up to 8.5GB per disc - although, dual-layer discs are pricey. MCE’s drive matches the exact form factor of current MacBooks/MacBook Pros; 9.5mm high. Note that this drive will only support the 15-inch model MacBook Pro, as the 17-inch uses a different size drive.
Of course, the drive works as Apple’s standard SuperDrives would - natively with OS X Tiger and Leopard - with compatibility for iTunes, iDVD, Finder, iPhoto, DVD Player e.t.c. It includes the necessary installation tools and a manual.

why 17 inch does not support??
on February 2, 2008 at 04:07 PM - LINKMy guess is that there are probably too few of people with 17-inch MacBook Pros for MCE to justify making one for it.
Thanks,
