It is a great product. Burns and plays without difficulty. It did take a little while to figure out how to work it, because I have recently switched from a PC to Mac.

Most of the software and content people will need can be obtained from the internet however, it would have been nice to have it Blue-ray compatible. Paired with an Apple computer and the Thunderbolt monitor playing DVD's will have a grainy appearance. It's compact size is a big plus.

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..

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.

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.

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.

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 needed an external drive that would be able to read the dvd I had made for my son’s first birthday party. It worked perfect with my MacBook Air.
