A new optical drive designed for the new Mac Pro

It is clear that the renewed exterior design of the new Mac Pro presented by Apple during last month's keynote raises admiration among the majority of users and one of the highlights of this new machine created by those from Cupertino in addition to its spectacular power , is its design and one of the 'problems' that some potential buyers find in it is disk drive removal.

But this new policy has been used by Apple since the great update of the iMac in 2012 and that is why manufacturers of CD-DVD players they are being used thoroughly for those who want or need a disk drive on their computer.

This is the case of FastMac, a Minneapolis company that shows us its optical reader with USB connection for the new Mac Pro. Yes, many users think that Apple is making a mistake with the elimination of the reader for CDs - DVDs on Mac, but it is clear that they will not change the decision made so we have the option to buy the optical drive as an accessory or simply if we need it, yes or yes, rethink the purchase of a Mac Pro.

At the moment for those who are planning to get a new Mac Pro when it is available in the Apple store and need an optical drive that is proposed to us FastMac looks good, called FMBDR6x.

Built in aluminum and with a design that fits like a glove on the new Mac Pro, its negative point in this case is the price: $ 159 making advance purchase until September 1, 2013 or U.S. dollar 179 for purchases made after this date, adding U.S. dollar 22 for shipments outside the US.

I sincerely believe that it is not necessary to be so extreme as not to buy a Mac Pro because it does not have an optical drive, but as always in these cases each user is free to choose and if you depend a lot on the reader, it is best that you find the pros yourself and cons before buying a Mac. It is clear that there are also external readers much cheaper than the one in this article.
