Many appreciate its compatibility with various systems and its performance in burning and reading discs. However, some customers find the price to be a bit high.

    I use this with my iMac 27" and I love it. It works so well with all my apple products and it's super fast. I use it mostly to burn photos to cds for clients (photography business).

    My new laptop did not have a drive and I thought I needed it. I haven't used it more than twice, but glad I have it. Works great! I am sure I will be happy I have it for DVDs.

    Just plug in and use nothing to install. I was a bit mad that a 2000 dollar MacBook doesn't include a disc drive but oh welll.

    This is a really nice drive and works seamlessly with Mac OS X, the only regrettable consideration is its only DVD-R5 and/or DVD-R DL media which essentially limits it to 8.5GB which isn't that bad, but there is no credible reason they haven't upgraded it to a Blu-ray recorder with XL capability which would yield 100+GB per disc and free consumers from the risk of getting their valuable personal and family records, photos and other private data lost, hacked or stolen by depending on the Cloud to protect all our stuff! Cloud storage sites and RAID Drives are Hackers # 1 Targets! Speaking of which: remember Target, Home Depot, IRS, etc?

    Handy drive, works easily doesn't have to be ejected when done using. Greatly appreciate the weight difference in the new Mac Book Pro without having to have the drive built in.

    This was a great purchase for my Mac since they do not come with disk drives. Haven't had any problems with it. Apple has never let me down when it comes to their products.

    I need to burn DVDs so this is a great choice. Because it is Apple brand it is easy to update the firmware. On many 3rd party drives you must update on a PC. Good luck with that

    Plugged right in and works great. Only downside is you have to use at a desk or table top to support but it's not an issue for me considering it's only used once in awhile

    If you spend the bucks for something like a MacBookPro, don't be cheap with additional hardware, go with consistency and compatibility, peace of mind is worth the extra cost.,
