Customer Ratings & Reviews

I use it on a regular basis.easy use. Good quality. Compact. Fast.

As usual Apple makes the products that seamlessly talk and work together. This is a plug & play install, very easy. Operationally fast and ascetically fits with the Mac Mini.

A must if you want to use your DVD, CD's, etc. on your MacBook Air since it doesn't have a CD/DVD reader/writer. Very small and useful. Just plug it in the USB and you are ready to go. No hardware to lose nor software to load - Plug and Play!

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.

Needed this to transfer files from old disks to the cloud... works flawlessly with my iMac. Very happy with the purchase and ease of use.

As much as I love my laptop, there are occasions when I need a disc drive. This was exactly what I needed. It's small and lightweight enough to fit easily in my bag. You simply plug it in and go. My only wish is that the cord were longer.

Easy to set up and use. Awesome product . Couldn't ask for a better drive. Very quiet and works great. I would definitely tell people to buy it. Price was a little high but worth it.

Purchased this SuperDrive because I have a newer model Apple MacMini desktop computer and it does not have a CD drive to upload music to my Itunes account from my music CD's. Virtually foolproof to use; a 3 year old can use this machine. Pop your CD in the drive and all your instructions come up on your screen asking what you want to do. Since all my devices are Apple, I highly recommend this product over a cheaper brand. You won't be disappointed.

muy pequeno y silencioso, bastante rápido ideal para nuevas macbook

I love this item. It is small, sleek, and perfect size to fit in my computer bag. Easy to operate and works well with the newest MacBook.

Does it's thing without issue. Slim profile so it doesn't get in the way.

I was a little sad when I found out I still had to buy a cd drive after I bought a 1000 dollar computer but I needed it. It works great and is really easy to set up. It's also really compact so it doesn't take up much room on my desk.

With the I Mac and the Mac Air book coming without a cd/dvd drive eventually an external drive becomes an item to have. Connecting the Apple drive is a snap, the size is small and it works great. At about $70.00 it is bit pricier than all other units that will essentially perform as well.

I missed having a disk drive once I went to Mac Mini but with this Super Drive I have it again. Just plug and play, fairly quite and fast enough for me. Sleek and trim.

I read about lots of problems with this device ... but so far, it does the job and I have no issues with it. Simple hook up (just plug in USB port) and it's up and running. Looks great ... clean, simple, minimalist (just like all apple products). Took off one star, as I wish it had a physical eject button somewhere (just in case a disc gets stuck).

Apple Super Drive 8X External USB is great for your old music CD's and watching movies. Small and compact, works great for travel. An excellent tool for my new Mac

Easy to use. Been meaning to buy one for awhile and finally got it. Great value. Writes super fast. Bought it to write videos that I've transferred from VHS tapes and works great.

this external drive was a gift and the recipient LOVES that he can now watch his favorite DVDs on his MAC Air Pro. Sleek simple design is classic Apple.

Quite frankly, I was a little disappointed when Apple made the decision to stop building in optical drives. It's a little bit annoying to have to hook up an external drive every time I want to read from or burn a CD or DVD. So now I own 2 of these drives. One lives in the video editing suite and this one hangs out with my MacBook Pro. It worked flawlessly out of the box and required no set-up time. Of course, we've all come to expect that from Apple and once again, they delivered. So to actually review the drive: it's lightweight, easy to carry in my computer bag and extremely durable. I've never had a bad burn and it functions very well. Since most new Macs are shipping without built-in drives, you'll need to purchase an external. You will not be disappointed in this unit!

It is unfortunate that Apple does not include these internally with their iMacs. So far the external drive works as its supposed to. I am rating this a four because for the price it should come with other features. Thus, it is a good (but not excellent) external drive. I am sure if I tried to shop around I would have found a cheaper one.
