My 867 is having problems seeing my stock pioneer superdrive. sometimes it will see it sometimes not, then i just put in a DVD and it doesnt show up, and i cant hear the drive spin up. anyways, if it is dead, what can i replace it with? what brand do you guys suggest/ use?

as always, thank you for your help!

One of these:

Buy Pioneer DVR-K06 8x DVDRW Slimline�DVR-K06 from CCL - Online Retailer of the Year 2006

It IS the Superdrive in my iMac.

Do a Google search for your particular Superdrive model.

System Profile, Hardware, ATA will tell you which.

 menu.

iMac Intel Core i5, 2.5GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB 21.5" Monitor 10.8.3.
iMac 17" 2.0ghz Intel Core 2 Duo w 3gb memory (White one) 10.6.8.
