Yep, the speaker is surprisingly adequate. I watched a, nearly, 4 hour YouTube video this morning using the internal speaker.

That's the one I am using, 3008, but i have 2005 vertically.
Oh, I know NVME are meant to be warm but surprising that despite the OWC being a giant heatsink, it is still a nice luke warm feel. It'd thought it would be cold to the touch. Makes a nice little hand warmer at the moment!

Bah, from my research it seems I need the official Apple USB-A to USB-C adaptor for the SuperDrive to work....I tried a couple of other 3rd party adaptors (10gbps and 5W), doesn't work !
Does it just not work at all or does it work as a read only device? I ask because I’ve got one and both my Mac Studio and MBA only recognise it as read only.
I’ve not plugged it into a USB-A port on the Studio because they’re in use, I’ve always been using USB-C ports with a third party adapter. I didn’t even know there was an official Apple one.

I plugged it in the front with an adaptor, in the back with an adaptor, into the USB-A port in the back of the Caldigit, in the front of the Calidigit. None of them work. By work I mean when I put a CD into the front, it doesn't "suck" it in.
Oh interesting. The SuperDrive has been discontinued, I wonder if they’ve removed compatibility for it with the new Mini.
Just to see, I plugged my Pioneer BDR-XD05TB 6 x Slim Portable USB 3.0 BD/DVD/CD Burner into one of the front USB-C ports of my mini with a USB-C to USB-A adapter and it was able to read discs and when I put in a blank DVD I had to option to burn...
