Apple admits SuperDrive 8x media reliability glitch

Back in August, we reported that Apple Mac users demand 'slow SuperDrive' fix. Apple have now admited a issue may exist. Even with Apple saying that, they havn't offered a solution or workaround. Just that users sould use 2x or 4x DVD-R media.

Apple has finally coughed to the existence of a glitch numerous PowerBook G4 owners have been pointing out for months.

Says a recently published Apple Knowledge Base entry: "Some earlier PowerBook G4 computers that have a SuperDrive with a 2x DVD-R write speed may not be able to burn 8x DVD-R media reliably. Because of this, you should only use 2x or 4x DVD-R media."

I'm betting that a petition set-up by angry apple user Steve, had somthing to do with what Apple have now said. You can read the full story here.
