Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works as expected but you’ll need an adapter for thunderbolt only computers. Very quiet drive.

Burns CDs quickly, works quietly. Using CDs isn't as common as it used to be, so this is great when you do want to use a cd.

This Apple super drive is awesome, quiet and quick! Now I can upload my CD's into iTunes easy and fast! I would recommend this product over the LG any day.

I am in college & needed a way to play my school DVD's on my computer. This is exactly what I needed. I haven't had a minutes trouble.

Quality, portability, and ease of set up was just what I expected. I have high expectations and am happy when they are met.

Works great with my MacBook Air, I love the fact that does not have to be plugged into an outlet, just one plug to your computer and go. No fuss. Light and portable.

Bought for my 2020 MacBook Pro. The quality, design and ease of use is very good so the premium price seems fair.

Exactly what I was looking for. Very easy to use! Plugged right in and started using it! After reading many reviews, I had no doubt I would purchase the Apple brand!

Coming from a HP PC with a built in optical drive, I felt I had to have a DVD/CD drive for my new iMac desktop. Since the newer iMacs don't have a built in drive, I decided I'd try this one. It works as expected, and I'm happy with it.

Apple is seamless, so I couldn't expect anything less then the ease of use of this device. Now if only Apple made their own printers....then I would be ecstatic!

I use the Apple USB Superdrive to make backups for work. It comes in handy for those us that still need the use of CDs/DVDs either for work or pleasure. Looks great, lightweight, fast speeds and, yes, still a necessity in my work & home environment.

I gave it 5 stars because it does what it's supposed to do. There is nothing special about this Apple superdrive. It does what it's advertised to do. I'm annoyed that apparently Apple made it so you pretty much have to buy their Superdrive to have it work flawlessly. I was told by multiple (non-Apple) salesmen that if I were to buy another brand, it may or may not work and that was by Apple's design. There's nothing bad about this, but to be honest it's just an external DVD drive. It works. It doesn't make your files any fancier or your photos pop more. It simply read and writes data.

I stayed in the Apple yard with this purchase. There was no problem hooking up and being able to read a couple dvds.

I bought this for my boyfriend to copy his music from his cds to his Mac and iPhone and it was easy and he absolulty loves it. Very user friendly.

Excellent dvd burner good job Apple worked great with the new Mac mini

Thank goodness Apple sees fit to help us old time DVD users. The SuperDrive is super easy to use and store. I wish it had an eject button but then this is the 21st C so I guess I can't expect anything that would debase Apple's sleek, minimalist aesthetic..

Very easy hard drive to hookup . Just plug in usb on your computer or laptop and boom your uploading your music cds and dvds to your library.

I bought this as an add-on to a new Mac desktop. It's great! Super compact so it doesn't take up much room on my desk. I've already used it to download lots of photos!

Recently purchased this to go along with our new macbook pro. Great to use when we need to view old pictures that are on cd's. Just don't know if it will read music cd's?

Works perfectly with the Mac mini. No issues watching movies. Have not tried to write to it yet.
