Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good CD/DVD reader for a Mac. Easy to install - just plug into a USB port, no external power, it gets power from the USB port. Can read and play from any CD/DVD and can also burn CD's. Just push the disk into the slot most of the way and the unit will grab it and pull it the rest of the way into the drive and start. Eject the disk from a finder window. (no eject button on the unit, must be plugged into a computer and ejected from the computer software)

I initially went into Bestbuy and a employee told me to by another brand cause it'll do the same thing it's just cheaper....brought that one home and of course I had a feeling, it didn't work with my computer. Went back and bought this and went home, opened the box, no silly instructions, plugged it in and worked great. No issues with it....it's small and sleek. Love it.

Very easy to attach and remove. Quiet operation. Sleek and slim

Nice small DVD only need USB for power fits nicely on mac mini

i was not sure Which Dvd/Cd player I should get to coordinate with my Apple Mac, But I went with the obvious, as it is a sleek and fast External Drive. Everything you need to make it work is in the Box. It's great for Laptops or Desktops that do not have a DVD/CD player. I am very happy with it.

Compact and works like a charm. I had loads of CD's I wanted to get into my iTunes library and this little reader made quick work of it. Once in the library, I burned several of my favorite play lists to use in the cars and disc players. Takes up little space, does it all, what more could you ask for! Another great Apple product, highly recommended!

It's small, simple, fast and quite. Good idea keeping it detached!

This is an axcellent product. It runs like no other drive, it is one of a kind. The only thing is the price! I could get a superb samsung blu ray optical drive on amazon for the same price, and this has no blu ray player. Just go with a $40 LG if you don't use drive much. This is overpiced, but great over all. If you are going to get it, buy it used on amazon or ebay for 50 bucks or so.

Super easy to connect & use! It's fast & small. It doesn't take up space!

I have a Mac Mini from a few years ago and the optical drive finally gave up the ghost. I ripped my entire CD collection (3,200) to a Buffalo NAS drive to use with my Sonos system. The new drive is really compact and fast. I'm adding a new 27" iMac 5K Retina display for photography editing and I can use it with this new computer. Very convenient!!!

OCDers that need to match the silver of their MacBooks or Minis will like this. Not the fastest, cheapest, nor has Blu-Ray capabilities, but if all you need is reading and writing CDs, SL & DL DVDs (does anyone store anything on disc anymore), then this is a sure bet. Sure you can get an Asus or LG for about half the price but they aren't as sleek and unobtrusive...and won't match colors! ;)

Though it is an external add-on,it is so small that it does not take up any extra room, I just placed it under the screen and it is ready and out of the way. Only connected it to a usb port and I'm done. Very easy to use,works just like a cd player in your car. Very pleased with my purchase.

Nice plain design. Totally quiet. Compact and nice simple looking unit.

Since newer Macs are sold without this feature I have been sorely missing it! Tried to use newer features to compensate but just not the same. This is a great add on for your Mac purchase plus it's very small, thin and light weight making it perfect for mobility. High quality and very stable just like all Apple products. You will not be disappointed!

very easy to use fast and efficient takes up very little space.

i bought this after reading reviews, and here I am giving one. I've played music CD's to download to my laptop (MBP2017) and watched 1 movie. The Apple Super Drive seemed to do its job. Of course, you'll need an adapter to connect. I used the Apple - USB-C-to-USB Adapter which i will give a review next. i do recommend this device!

So far the product works great and have had no issues. The downfall for consumers is the fact that Apple just wants to make more money by requiring Apple computer purchasers to have to buy one of these instead of having it be a part of the computer like they used to for years.

Recently upgraded my iMac to a MacBook Pro and bought this for when the need arises. Burned a few music CD's to test the product and works perfectly. Just plug and play, it's that easy. Just what you would expect from an Apple product. Easy to use, looks great and it just works.

Nice design looks like rest of computer Vital for accessing disk based software such as TurboTax and all of stuff you store offline. Fast clean quiet and takes no space at all Apple should just put it right in the computer package in my opinion. Great interface for non stick drive or different system info as well as using old but good software on disks.

Works great with my macbook pro. I still miss having an optical drive in my laptop. Itunes doesn’t compare to collecting cds. No setup required. Plug it in and you are ready to go (after buying an apple usb adapter of course. You gotta love those apple add-ons now).
