[QUOTE="00Photo, post: 560919, member: 30522"] I purchased a second dvd burner from a local "mac specialist" store about a year ago since apple doesn't sell them. It was a pioneer DVR-112R. It is currently not reading disks. Primary Pioneer DVR-111R is still working fine. What can I replace the drive with? I don't feel like spending another $100 for a "special mac pro dvd burner" when I can go to newegg.com and pick up something that will work fine for $30. I see new DVD rom drives use SATA. Is the interface on the Mac Pro SATA or IDE? Will any old IDE burner work and clear the bay door? [/QUOTE]
