Customer Ratings & Reviews

This external disc drive works as it should. Easy to install. Why did Apple stop building their IMacs without the drive? I wish that had not happened and had to purchase the drive a la carte, which was annoying. It works just fine, but the extra expense is an issue with me.

What can I say, you plug it in with the included cord and the computer sees it and you go. Has read any disc I have put in. I thought it would be a hassle that the computer didn't have a built in drive but I found that I feel that way at all. Great accessory.

Bought a new iMAC, fantastic machine, Retina display, etc. But have a lot of legacy content (video, audio, data files, etc.) stored on CDs and DVDs. Also do some audio and video disc burning. Therefore needed an optical drive since iMACs now come without them. This does the trick nicely and look good alongside the sleek iMAC.

Love being able to put CDs and dvds. Use it a lot. My only complaint is that you have to eject whatever is inside by the computer. Not a huge deal but it would be nice to have had an eject button. Super easy to install, literally for us was plug and go!

Typical Apple-quality product. Simple design and easy to use. The disc does need to be pushed almost the entire way into the drive for it to take it, and there are no buttons on the unit. Works as it should. Not too much else to say. If you need it - buy it.

The SuperDrive works great and is easy to use. No installation of any software is needed to use the device. It works great with my MacBook Air and I would recommend it to anyone. The only thing I don't like about it is the price. $75 is a little steep. But then again, its an Apple product, and its great quality, so what do you expect?

This CD/DVD drive is incredible. AllI have to do is plug the USB into my MacBook Air and it's ready to go. It burns CDs from iTunes and DVDs more quickly than the drive in my MacBook does. It's fantastic. I love it.

I was worried at first, because of the other reviews, but it worked perfectly. I took a chance on the fact that maybe the other's computers were just not compatible. I have a MacBook Pro with Retina Dispay. All I do is plug in the USB; easy and convenient!

This thing is expensive, a bit too much, but it's the best one for my mac and works flawlessly.

I bought my superdrive from BestBuy and I am very satisfied with the product. It's easy to use, sleek looking and a value for money. I was able to locate this product easily in BestBuy store and the price was very competitive. I would recommend it to others. Thanks.

When I bought my iMac, I thought life without a drive would be pretty lonely. However after purchasing this SuperDrive, I feel much better. Super easy to set up and using it regularly to rip CDs into my music library. Very good purchase!

I recently purchased the Apple Superdrive to use with my new MacBook Pro. Compared to the a large, heavy Superdrive I used with an iMac, this little beauty is tiny and very easy to use. So far I've only used it to download software. It did a great job.

portable, compatible with my MacBook, and compact. I like this product.

I wanted extreme portability in new computer but need DVD drive to help with auditory problems with DVDs shown through TV. SuperDrive is ideal answer. Matches computer and is trim and requires no additional outlet. Easy and ready to use when needed.

This drive works perfectly every time. We've never had any issues with it. You just plug it in and thats it, no software or drivers to install. It's really thin also so it travels easily inside a laptop bag. I use it for my slim iMac and my MacBook Air.

I bought this super-drive for my new I mac and my wife Macbook air. Neither machine has a built in optical drive. This little guy works flawlessly. Simple plug and play, and when connected via USB 3.0 it works at speeds rivaling a built in drive.

It’s a bummer that most new computers don’t come with a disc drive. This one not only works really well with my iMac, it blends in really well since they are all the same material. I have it sitting on the bottom stand of the iMac.

Purchased the DVD drive so I could play and burn media. The Apple Drive was plug and play. Works great with my new iMac. Keyboard eject works and so does the Apple DVD player. Time will tell how long it will last, but so far it is great.

The build quality is excellent! It is 100% compatible with my Mac. That being said, other external DVD drives are anywhere from $15 - $35 on average less expensive than this drive. Like many Apple peripherals, they seem pricey compared to their non-Apple counterparts. Maybe I am just paying for the piece of mind that it will always be absolutely compatible with my Mac.

The Apple - SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD RW/CD-RW Drive is easy to install and works right out of the box. Like all Apple procucts it is sleek and attractive, and very easy to install. It is not a required add-on, but really nice to have.
