is the super 8x drive a slotdrive, and two, do slot drives use an actual "disc" like a tray drive?

Yes. If the slot drive ever fails, you can connect a usb external drive such as http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-External-Drive-SE-208DB-TSBS/dp/B009QBIZ60/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1389211947&sr=1-1&keywords=samsung+se-208db+tsbs

Yes. If the slot drive ever fails, you can connect a usb external drive such as Samsung Portable DVD Writer Black 8X Slim DVD+/-RW (TSST SE-208DB/TSBS)

I tried this item on a tray loading dvd recorder/player and was not realy happy with the results. The lens cleaner is a cd that has a very small brush built in, therefore if you have a slot loading multy drive, I would'nt recomend because of the little brush having to enter into a very narrow area. There is a chance that it may damage your multy drive. This cd is more comvenient to use on a tray drive.

Yup. It obviously only takes slim, drawerless drives. You can see the slit in the front of the case. Warning from experience, I would not suggest this. The case is pretty cramped, sacrificing function for form it seemed, thus leading to some clearance issues with that giant bracket which ONLY gains you a disc reader. My experience with out a disc reader has been ok thus far, and since its the way the markets moving you might as well ditch it and get it over with.

I just bought a Yoga 2 pro with Windows 8.1 and the Superdrive did not work at all; it wouldn't even take a disc in. The drive would register as present/plugged in on the computer, but the drive had no functionality. I went and bought an LG drive (called the Super MultiBlade) from Best Buy and it worked immediately.

This should handle all Your DVDs and CDs burn or read. Super-multi = a drive that reads and writes CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, DVD-RAM and DVD-DL. Its a bit slow at 8x but it will do its job. I would invest in an external DVD or bluray drive just to keep the included drive in tact and burn movies in 5 min instead of 15ish minutes. I also use an external mouse and keyboard to keep the keys in pristine condition. Quite frankly this isn't a computer for casual computer users that need to ask this sort of question. I use this for many resource intensive programs such as Auto-Cad, Multisim, and BF4 on ultra :D. This should handle all Your DVDs and CDs burn or read.

It has both - "SuperRAID" which is 3 128GB SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration and a 1TB 5400rpm harddrive (slow to save really big files). The SSD's work well and it is nice have the extra 1 TB of space if you need it. (Good place for movies, photo's, etc)

I don't have an Apple SuperDrive but a LG DVD burner works fine. Since this drive requires USB power to make it work, I would think the SuperDrive would work as well.

That super drive goes to a older mac pata ide interface it looks like a power book super drive you need a sata interface super drive not a pata ide interface

This drive only has a thunderbolt port, so if the game systems have that port then it's a go. This drive does not have a USB port

Not exactly sure what your question is but the super drive fits in the sleeve perfectly

My G750JX-DB71 has an 8x Super-Multi DVD. The only specs I've seen on the ASUS website weren't actually model specific specs, but a listing of the various hardware options across the G750 product line. Take a look at the ASUS specs again and you'll see that the Optical Drive section lists 3 different drive types (Blu-Ray DVD Combo, Super-Multi DVD, Blu-Ray Writer). The folks at ASUS really need to do something with their website and support info - it just plain sucks.

Yes there is! It is not the clunky tray type either. There is a slit on the right hand side where the discs can slip in and out.This is what it is: Optical Drive: 8X Slot Load CD/DVD Burner (Dual Layer DVD+/-R Drive)

Tray feeder. Slot feed drives never have a flat front plate with space for the CD/DVD logos like on the picture. It looks like a standard laptop DVD drive.

They all have three slots, but not all have all three drives. Mine only came with the one 128GB SSD

Sorry no. It's just a standard DVDRW drive that's in-built. At least my particular model's is in-built.

Yes it uses hot swap drives. No you can't use non hot swap drives without causing some issues.
