While its DVD read and write speeds of up to 8x are still good enough to contend with much of what the market has to offer, there are a few areas in which the Apple USB SuperDrive shows its age. With no M-Disc support, the SuperDrive misses out on one of optical media’s most impressive archiving options, and its legacy USB Type-A connection is practically a relic from a bygone era since Apple adopted USB-C ports as standard in 2018. While most external DVD drives will typically feature read and write speeds of up to 8x, the OWC Mercury Pro puts the pedal to the metal and delivers read speeds of up to 16x, and blisteringly fast write speeds of up to 24x. That translates to a data rate of around 33.2MB/s, allowing a full write of a dual-layer DVD in just four minutes — just a third of the time it would take your average 8x drive.

Regular recordable DVDs are great for storing data as you move it from one device to the next, but if you want to store information long term then what you really want to be using is M-Disc DVDs. All regular recordable DVDs have their data burnt into an organic dye layer which begins to degrade from the moment it is written to. This gives most standard recordable DVDs a limited lifespan that some estimate to be somewhere between two and five years. While it’s not too much hassle to make a new copy of your data within that window, the process can be time consuming and tedious. Arnold, William (December 30, 1994). " '94 Movies: Best and Worst".
