My new MacBook Pro has been having issues with the SuperDrive. It refused to play certain media and didn’t always burn discs on the first try. Today my software update prompted me for a new update. It happened to be the SuperDrive Update 2.1. I haven’t been able to test my optical drive extensively after loading the update, but have see some improvement. I have a disc with me that didn’t play prior to the update but plays after the update. That sounds like good news to me. I suppose that these firmware updates to make a difference. I’ll do some further testing at a later time when I have access to more variety of media.

If you’ve been having issues with your optical drive on a MacBook Pro, fire up the Software Update on your machine and load the SuperDrive Update 2.1. It should improve your drive’s performance.
