About OWC / Other World Computing Enclosure kit

A perfect companion for the OWC Data Doubler

Ideal solution for Macs with replaced optical drive!
The OWC SuperSlim for Apple SuperDrive solution makes CD and DVD burning and playing Plug-and-play easy with Macs and PCs. It's bus-powered (no AC adapter needed!), ultra-thin and lightweight for easy transport in your gear bag.

Uses ANY 9.5mm SuperSlim Slot Loading Optical Drive
While an extremely attractive option for MacBook and MacBook Pro owners looking to retask a removed Apple SuperDrive, the OWC SuperSlim is also a great choice for ANY 9.5mm optical drive... even those with mounting tabs! So whether you choose an enclosure kit to build your own solution or select an OWC pre-configured solution, the OWC SuperSlim offers stylish, highly portable disc read/write capabilities for your specific need.

Compact and versatile No AC Adapter Required!
The OWC SuperSlim offers stylish mobile disc read/write ability with a sleek, totally bus-powered design. Take your digital life with you wherever you roam!

Same performance of internal optical drive
Equipped with an Apple SuperDrive, the OWC SuperSlim offers CD/DVD write speeds equal to and even slightly better than when the drive is installed internally in a 2011 MacBook Pro. Now you can retain full performance of a replaced optical drive after adding the OWC Data Doubler!
