[QUOTE="Mamajag, post: 1467526, member: 183823"] I have to pay return shipping even for a defective return so I didn't want to chance another enclosure from OWC. Between that and the restocking fee, I won't do business with them again. The Superdrive works on the MBA and Mini but not the MBP. I haven't tried it on the iMac. Apple support told me it is intended for the Retina MBPs and the MBA. I guess I'm wondering if I can pick an optical drive at random and have it work or if there's some special one I need. I need the second hard drive in the MBP as I use it all of the time. I only need the optical on occasion, but I still need it. This has turned into a heck of a headache. Thanks for your reply. :) [/QUOTE]
