Old MacBook had built in CD-ROM drive, but not on new ones. Need CD/DVD drive from time to time so bought external drive. Have used it a number of times and it is fast, quiet, easy to use. Great companion to MacBook

This DVD writer/reader runs smoothly and quiet. The speed is great. Very easy to use; just plug in via USP and ready to go. The outside cover is very steady, metallic looking, and durable but low weight.

I recently purchased the external Apple super drive and am extremely satisfied. Installation was easy and it works great on my Mac pro. Fast speed, high quality. Would recommend to friends.....even enemies!

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.

Bought it for my MacBook no DVD, so I purchased it so I can copy my cd's and also play some of my favorite movies. Works better than I expected Just pluged it to my MacBook and that was it. Great product

Exactly what I needed to use CD's with my new MacBook Pro. I decided to buy the 13" for much cheaper than the 15" which meant I didn't have a built-in CD drive. However, the portable drive works excellent.

Anything made by apple works flawlessly unless you do something to it that youre not supposed to do. Pricy but if you have a newer apple laptop and have disc to put in it this is what you want.

It's a shame the drive is not built in to the MacBooks but you have to give up something for its portability. Aside from that it's a slim light weight drive, it looks great and even matches the machines look.

I had just purchased a new MacBook Pro, and I knew that I would need some sort of external drive. I was expecting to purchase a non Apple brand one because of the cost. Not only did I find an Apple drive, at a very reasonablle price, but brand new in an open box. I am delighted with my purchase, and the external drive matches my laptop beautifully! The associate was very helpful and even insisted on checking the merchandise to make sure it was in good condition; and also scanned it to make sure that the price had not been reduced further. Very pleasant experience. Best Buy’s employees never disappoint; never high pressure and always very helpful.

Great love it. Match’s the exterior finish/color of my mac/apple. It’s so convienient fits into my pouch that I carry my apple mac in if I take it with me. Disc slide in and out fast.

This is perfect for anyone who wants to run CDs or DVDs on a MacBook. As a teacher, I wanted to play some audio books as we read along in the textbook. This allowed me to do that. My only complaint is that it took a little time to let the CD load the first time because it would ask if I wanted to sync it to my iTunes. (It can take a few minutes if you decide to sync.) I have read reviews about some people having problems with skipping when using a separate drive, but I didn't have that problem at all with this device. We've watched movies and listened to CDs without any problems--sometimes using it 5+ hours each day. It was easy to switch between tracks to pick up where we left off the previous day. I would definitely recommend it to others.

imac at least the one i got doesn't come with a drive, so purchased the external apple one, love it works great and very quite, nice if you still you them...LOL

compact, needed for older applications, is fast and quiet

The external USB is easy to use - plug it in and it's easy to figure out how to use for various needs. I record music onto CD's and it has done a great job. The size is great also - sleek.

Easy to set up. Easy to use. Works with Apple without complications.

My new iMac doesn't have a Superdrive and that made this a necessary purchase for me. I like it's portability and I can use it with my Mac AirBook. Very slim and sits nicely on the desktop.

It works great with my new MacBook Pro with retina display. My new MacBook Pro does not have a DVD drive so this external DVD/CD writer works great.

I've been using it to burn movies and it's awesome! I just recently bought a Mac Book Pro 13" (2019), and it has worked wonders. It's fast and easy to use.

This device works as advertised. Start-up is simple and although I have not tested it exhaustively I would say it performs as advertised. It is also thin and doesn't take up much space.

I have an embroidery sewing machine and I often order designs online, download them to a disk, and then enter the disk into my sewing machine disk reader. This external disk drive/burner is exactly what I needed to do that task. Whenever I download a design to my Mac Desktop and put a disk into the burner an icon appears on screen that walks me through the process effortlessly. I am very happy with this product. The only disappointment was that it will not work on a Windows based machine to download information (I had some designs on my old Gateway product but it would not recognize this disk drive.). It will only work on Apple products.
