    If I would have skimped out and bought the windows drive for $30 less, programs would have to be downloaded and its just not worth it. All I had to do was open the box and plug it in. Works great

    To Installs software on my Mac. For the price I agree it should be able to do more. I purchased this because I wanted it to match my computer/office. I recommend, just make sure you know what you want out of it before buying.

    I was a little disappointed that the Retina Macbook Pro didn't have a disk drive but this is a good substitute. It is portable and writes and reads quickly.

    Haven't had a chance to burn any CD's yet, but look forward to. I like that it is USB which can be used only when needed. Keeps my computer lighter :)

    When I purchased my MacBook, I wasn't sure about having an external CD drive. However, it is one less internal component to worry about. The internal CD drive of my last laptop (not a Mac) blitzed out, and there was no way to repair without sending the entire laptop in for service. I don't anticipate any problems with my new Apple SuperDrive, but it was a consideration nonetheless. It's there when I need it, and stores easily when I don't.
