    Apple products are always a little pricey, but never let you down. Last forever. This product has been working great so far, easy to install and use, very small and light, easily portable.

    Just like all Apple products, this drive has a beautiful design. It's about the size of a CD jacket only 5/8 of an inch thick. The hardwired cord is about a foot long with a USB port on the end. Worked fine pulling up a disk.

    Apple CD burner is a winner!

    If you own a Mac Laptop or desktop, and need to install any software, you need this burner. It's also awesome and easy to burn discs with photos or files you need to save for future use. Great for backups of programs too. I know there are over priced clouds and such, but this is a great way to locally backup important information or photos. You don't need to install any software to use it nor do you need to download any drivers from an unknown source. To start using it, you simply plug in the USB cord which comes attached so you don't lose it. That's it. The only downside is that it is 2.0 and pretty slow compared to flash drives available today. BUT, unlike flash drives, CD-RW or DVD RW formats are made to use over and over again. If you still need a burner, and you own a mac, this is the best choice in my opinion.

    This product is a great accessory to my macbook air. Simply plug it in and it works. No installation or other hoops to jump through. CD burner works great! My one complaint would be the lack of a physical button on the unit to eject the disk.

    I have a brand-new iMac 27 inch that I connected this drive to. No problems no connection issues it does exactly what it supposed to do. The low profile design allows it to slide right under my monitor and it looks right at home.

    Since the new MacBook Pro and the iMacs do not have incorporated CD DVD Drives and burn, we must buy a drive which can both play and burn CD's and DVD's. It does an excellent job, effortlessly and fast. It is easy to use.

    I love the Apple external hard drive as it is a slimline, hard drive that is easy to use and carry with you. It pulls up on your existing hard drive with easy recognition and is easy to use. If you are needing more storage buy this product today.

    I'm very happy with this CD drive. I went with this one rather than a cheaper alternative as I trust the quality of Apple products which is why my equipment is all Apple. The speed is very comparable to other similar drives and it is very quiet.

    I like that they didn't take up space and add weight to my Macbook Pro by having an internal drive. It's a nuisance to have it external but I personally use it rarely. Very fast, easy installation. Classy looking as one would expect.

    Beautiful but pricey, not blu-ray, no eject button

    It's an Apple, so it is beautiful, but in retrospect, I think I should have gone with a blu-ray reader/writer that can be had for about 2/3 the cost. Also no eject button on the drive. Trust me there are times when the computer locks up or doesn't recognize the drive where it would be handy to eject the disk without looking up some combination of key strokes to hold down on startup.

    I bought this for my MacBook Pro with retina display bc it doesn't come with one. Which I didn't mind, bc it's faster and a lot lighter than the previous models. Just wanted to keep a cd drive handy in case I needed to install or burn CDs.

    Given that my iMac came without a disc drive it was a simple decision to go with this item. Not only does it look great, it's small and sleek and doesn't take up tons of space. It's fast and performs to the typical Apple standard.
