Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was a little leary about purchasing a laptop that cost close to $1500 without the DVD player incorporated in the device. But the portable drive works fine to watch DVDs; quick and responsive and very stable. With all of the streaming available, having the portable drive is fine.

I needed an exterior DVD player when my ‘vintage’ MAC would no longer play movies created in England. This worked perfectly for my needs and is small enough, read sleek, that it seems to be a part of the computer itself.

Nice small and compact CD drive. Put mine on the monitor base which makes it easy to get at. The easy insert of CD's without a drawer is a nice design. It even matches the aluminum finish of the monitor and stand.

I'm new to this product and having no experience, I still found it easy it easy to use and works great but I wish fit had a eject button on the device rather than accessing the eject feature through the device its connect to and must be powered on.

I purchased this Apple SuperDrive for my MacBook Pro. It was a perfect choice for my varied needs. The drive is small and easy to carry with my computer. I appreciate the convenience of the built-in cord. The silver color perfectly matches my silver MacBook Pro. I highly recommend this item.

Perfect addition to your Apple Air or MacBook Pro. Plug and play ease of use with included USB cord (you will need a USB to USB-C adapter for newer MacBook models) Plays and burns CD and DVDS

I hate that Mac has gotten rid of the laptop disk drive but that is the price we pay for a thinner and lighter product. This external dive is a great product for those of us( stuck in the past) who still want to watch a DVD or burn CDs. It is easy to use and compact.

Obviously many people don’t really need or use disc drives anymore but it was a necessity for work. I like that I knew I wouldn’t have any compatibility issues since it’s made by Apple but I do worry at times that a disc could get stuck since there’s no eject button.

New MacBooks do not come with a CD/DVD drive, but still get the external just in case. I got it and ended up putting all of my old CD's on iTunes. Now enjoying music that I haven't listened and to in years.

We bought the Apple SuperDrive in order to play DVD's on the computer. Even though the drive is more expensive than others, we went with the apple because it blends in with the iMac base. So far it works great.

My daughter and I have MacBook Air laptops and have been looking at external hard drives since we purchased our computers earlier this year. We were thrilled to see this on sale. It is compact in size and easy to use. We've used it with music and movies without a problem. Love it!

The super drive is a little more costly than some double layer DVD RW / CD RW drives but you get what you pay for. The drive is quiet, well built, and sturdy. The drive is easy to transport, and interfaces flawlessly with my MacBook Pro.

Although I was initially disappointed that my new MAC didn't come with a DVD drive (like most new computers), I found this add-on super easy to use, sleek-looking and a necessary addition to my MAC. The cable could be a wee bit longer, but, overall, I would buy this Apple add-on again

Traveling abroad often, I sometimes need additional equipment for communications and production of work. This drive fits the pack easy and has performed as expected and, at a recently reduced price. Great drive!

I bought this drive to add CD/DVD capability to my 12 inch Macbook. You need an adapter to connect the drive to the USB C port on the Macbook, but after that it is very easy to use. So far I have only used it to rip some music CD's. It has worked well and is reasonably fast.

I know a lot of people no longer use CDs, which is why most computers no longer come with disc drives. I am a photographer and try to back up my photos onto discs ever once in a while. This external disc drive is easy to use and very thin, lightweight and easy to store.

Since the Mac's do not have CD drives, had to have something!!! I have one with my Mac, it is very compact!! I travel for work, so it has to be!! The wife bought a new Mac and had to have a CD drive!! She used mine some and liked it!! I'm not willing to leave it at home when I travel, so I had to get her one of her own!!! She love's it!! The only reason for only 4 stars, I give NOTHING 5 stars!! There is ALWAYS room for improvement!!!

Although Apple and others are getting away from built in disc drives due to MP3 and other net-based software downloads, I still felt it was important enough for those odd occasions to have this external drive available. Simple, quiet, elegant looking. Apple quality as expected.

I had a great experience with the cashier. He helped me with ordering the Apple dvd burner which I could have ordered online. However, I wanted to pay with a gift card. He took me all the way from start to finish and to check my email for tracking my delivery. And most importantly, he said if any problems arise come see him. Can’t ask for anything better than that. Also, the Apple burner was better than expected. it worked with my Mac mini m1 with no problems

My new MacBook Air has two USB ports but it does not have a CD/DVD reader. Love this lightweight computer but I needed this add-on accessory to view DVDs or to record CDs (a frequent usage need). I'm very pleased with this SuperDrive's performance and its simplicity of operation.
