I needed an external cd/dvd drive and found a great product from Apple. Works efficiently and seamlessly with my iMac. Much better than the non-Apple product I used previously.

Works very well, and it is extremely portable. My only complaint is that I wanted to buy one with a USB-C cable for my new MacBook, but there is not one available.

This is a great external CD/DVD device. Easy to use and performs as suggested in the specifications. It is a bit slower than a normal in CPU drive.

Added CD/DVD capability to an new Apple laptop my wife bought. Newer computers delete CD/DVD from units to reduce size, weight and power consumption. Newer storage is cloud, SD or thumb drive. However, still need to access legacy software on CD and movies on DVD. This fills the bill.

Worked but not in the way I needed it too. This is a cool add-on for your MacBook but unfortunately DVD’s is a thing of the past. You will use it but not often.

This is a good product. The only problem I had with it was that you can only eject a movie via laptop. There is no button on the device. We had trouble ejecting on the laptop once & couldn't get the movie out. Otherwise, depending on your laptop, it's easy to use.

Since MacBooks don't have a CD drive built in, this is a necessity for my daughter's college classes. Works just as advertised. Definitely worth buying genuine Apple product.

The drive has been easy to use and connects easily with my airbook. It allowed me to have a thinner computer to work on and is more mobile.

I made that mistake! Had to exchange for this Apple. SOOO quiet compared to the cheaper brand. Absolutely recommend this without any hesitation.
