MacBook – What other “Superdrives” are able to replace the UJ-868

macbook prooptical-drive

I suspect my MacBook Pro's Superdrive is faulty. It refuses to burn Sony DVD+R discs.
I'm now looking at replacing the drive, but I see there are many "Superdrives". I have a Matshita DVD-R UJ-868, but I see different type numbers are sold as a Superdrive.

Which Superdrives, besides the UJ-868, are compatible with my 15 inch, mid 2009 MacBook Pro 5,3?

Best Answer

A drive to replace the Matshita UJ-868 should be:

  • 9.5mm in height
  • SATA interface
  • Slot loading

You can even replace it with a UJ-267 (which is a Blu-ray writer)
