Many appreciate its compatibility with various systems and its performance in burning and reading discs. However, some customers find the price to be a bit high.

    Solid CD/DVD Drive, Bit Expensive

    I got this drive because Apple tends to make great products. The price is a bit more than similar products. Also, you cannot manually eject the discs--however, in the years I've used the product, I've not required this feature.

    I couldn't get my DVD player to accept either DVDs or CD's. The first support person had no luck either. I was directed to a supervisor who set me straight by asking "Is the Apple Logo up or down on the DVD unit?" It was up. Turned the unit over with the Logo down (not visible) and it worked flawlessly. Instructions had no statement for Logo up or down. In my mind the Logo was meant to be seen not hidden. Otherwise a good unit.

    Only cd/dvd drive that I could get to work on a Mac. Would be better if it could be connected by usb-c.

    When Apple stopped including the Superdrive as a component of their iMac we thought we could live without one. Well, we aren't streamers so DVD's are still part of our life. We have played DVD's and it works well. Picture quality is good. This player works with the iMac with Catalina and we got an open box model at a discount! It is a true Apple device, just plug and play!

    My laptop doesn't have a CD drive so needed to buy this, and it does work perfectly so I can watch DVD's with it plugged in.
