- 2012 MBP 16gb ram, 2.3 i7, 500 gb hd, 750 gb hd
I just got a 15" 2012 MBP, and I removed the optical drive and replaced it with a 750gb hd. The optical drive did work when it was removed, but once placed in the enclosure I got from OWC it wouldn't recognize on any of the 4 macs I own. My DH left me his Super Drive from his MBA, but I am now reading (and experiencing) it not working with a MBP. I need an optical drive but not enough to have one internally while traveling.
Are there external optical drives that work with MBPs? Where would I get one? I'd prefer somewhere other than OWC as they are charging a restocking fee for an enclosure they admit to be defective.
I'm nervous about just randomly buying an external optical drive and hoping for the best.
