Customer Ratings & Reviews

Many may feel that a DVD drive isn't needed anymore, but for those who still may find a need, this is the way to go. It's easy, small enough to crowd your desk, and works without ant compatibility issues with your Mac.

Plug the usb cable into your Mac, read or burn your discs, and when you're done, unplug it! No need for power cables, very slim and unobtrusive device. Matches the Macbook, decor-wise. Upholds the Apple aesthetic admirably!

I'm very happy I purchased this device. I can write to DVDs very fast without trying. Very good investment at a great price and small enough to carry with you or keep it plugged in without taking up any space.

After a month and multiple uses the unit is great. runs quiet mechanically. Unit gets seen by os and win7 ultimate via parallels 12 no problem. Have not encountered the eject snafu mentioned in reviews yet. hope I never do. The unit will not run off of usb hubs powered or not. Requires direct connect to MacBook pro so far.

Works better than the original in my iMac, since that quit on me. Similar in speed and fits right on the base under my screen. Much less expensive alternative to opening up the unit and replacing the original drive.

Why the computer did not come with a CD/DVD player? We do not have the slightest idea. Well we do. It's all about $. We did purchase it and is very please with it. It's small; sleek and most of all portable.

Still have a foot in physical media for music, so I purchased this to back up some of my old beloved CDs.. So far, it's been a solid performer for the last year. I generally rip to losses with error correction. It may be a tad slow, but I'd rather just do it once and get the high quality backup with fewer errors. Playback has been great as.

I was sketchy about this one. No buttons? Like how? But the sleek simple design hooks up to my MacBook no problem. It’s so easy to use! And burns my cds and reads my cds just fine!

This dvd writer will be perfect if you have a Macbook Air or Macbook with retina display. Just plug and play. You will be able to watch movies or burn anything into a cd. I picked this up at Best Buy and I love it.

For those of us who have a ton of CD's that need to make it into an iTunes music collection, this is a Godsend. And, I can watch DVD's too! Great looking matchy-matchy silver look for my MacBook Air.

Something you don't think you need, then you get it and can't figure out how you got along without it. Fast drive compact easy to take with you, easy to operate.

Since the ultralight and slim MacBook Air has very few peripherals, I needed this for tax software and other old programs where I prefer having a CD or DVD than just downloading everything. It works...just have to remember to eject the drive before unplugging it from the usb plug or the Mac will give you a message of grief.

My internal CD/DVD player broke. Instead of the expense of fixing it, I bought the external drive. It is as good as the internal drive and I am to use it on all of my devices. Very quiet and very fast. It is great.

Another great apple product, I bought this for my I Mac. The drive is nice and thin and looks nice sitting underneath the computer. So far it has been working flawlessly as all apple products usually do.

Great product. Easy to use. Does the job! Playing and burning disc for my old family videos. A little more costly but works well.

Considering I didn’t have a disk drive built into my iMac, I love it already. I used it for work to mass produce CD copies for clients, and it didn’t hiccup once. Slim, fairly quiet, and smooth.

Had to buy a new writer the LG one went out after 1 use. The Apple has already work better & have used it twice with no problems plus I didn’t have to add software it hooked right up to the Mac with no problems. More pricey but no headaches!

Own a mac with no drive, searched and bought this out the store and i don't regret it! I needed it in order to download my canon dslr software and it was super easy lol just plug and go!

I purchased my Apple CD /DVD drive. Brought it home , hooked it to my MacBook Pro and it was so easy . Works great . I have used it to put music and pictures on my MacBook and it is easy and fast

The disk drive makes a great companion for any apple computer. It is very fast and hooks to the computer via a USB port. The computer automatically detects the disk drive, etc. I highly recommend this disk drive.
