Hello All!

I am waiting on my new 27" iMac (late 2012) to arrive and would appreciate some suggestions as to which optical drive would be best for my system. I see the Apple SuperDrive is available but I notice other manufactures offering drives with better specs and usb 3.0 connections. The main purpose of the drive will be to backup my DVD's and burn home moves to DVD. My past experience has shown me that just because the Mac logo is on the outside of the box doesn't mean that it will function well with Mac.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Art
