Since my daughter already had an Apple computer, we wanted to stay with the Apple external DVD drive. It was easy to connect to the computer and she is using it regularly. I do wish it was able to view BluRay.

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

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.

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.
