I like how this color blends in with my iMac. The cord is short so keeping it close is a must. It is also very small so storing this is very easy.

In this age of higher speed Internet and wi-fi connections, DVD players and burners are probably doomed to go the way of the floppy disk, but this is a very nice one. If you want to use your Macbook to view a video or listen to a music CD, this works fine. If you need to burn a DVD or CD for any reason, it will do it. When you plug it into a USB port, the driver loads and it's ready to use almost immediately. Almost every day, the need for a DVD/CD drive/burner is less and less, but if you need one or want one, you won't be disappointed with this one.

I have only used the dvd drive once so far. It was extremely easy to use- didn't even have an open/close button. No power cord is needed, only the USB into the mac. It fits well right on the base of the mac.

This product is very easy to use, which is exactly what I need since I am transitioning to Apple products from PC. Love that it is a small device that takes up barely any desk space next to our iMac.

a nice, compact and easy to use product. not the quietest, but gets the job done.

Just plug it into your apple computer; the computer automatically identifies it and you'll all set to go. I like the clean design and the size.

We needed to load some files quickly and it simply worked easily. We were moving a lot of backup files and transitioning 3 computers. It worked flawlessly and takes very little space or power.

Since desktop macs don't come with a CD drive, we purchased this to view photos on our CD's. Easily hooks up to mac with USB cord. Looks nice sitting on base on mac, blends in well. The only thing I don't like in order to get the CD to eject, you have do eject it via the computer. There isn't a button to safely eject the CD.

Sure this drive is almost double what other external drives are but I really wanted one to match my new iMac. I don't use CDs much anymore but when I do this thing can handle everyhting that I throw at it from reading and writing CDs and DVDs to just watching movies. Very happy with it even thought its over priced

Excellent product. Works perfectly with my apple stuff. A bit pricy compared to some of the alternatives, but that's a personal judgement call. No complaints from me, very good quality and design.

Apple's Super Drive is an excellent addition to my MacAir! It is easy to use and performs perfectly. The only thing this product needs is a pouch or compartment for storing when you are on the move.

Works great ,easy to use and gets job done fast, can be used on both Mac and pc

There's still a need to watch your dvd movies and listen to your music cds, and this is the best unit for that if you own an Apple computer!

This drive is sleek and functional, as I'd expect any Apple product to be. It fills the void left by phasing out internal disk drives on new laptops. Easy to carry in my laptop bag or back pack.

I recently needed to get some CDs downloaded to my computer so I recently purchased this unit so that I could do that. I found that it works exceptionally well and it is very user friendly. The transfers were very quick and no corruption occurred. I would highly recommend this unit.

Superdrive 8x Ext USB does exactly what you expect. It's fast and easy to use. Allows the user to accomplish everything needed when an external drive is required. Highly recommended.

I was frustrated about having to buy an external drive with new Macs not having them built in. Despite my frustrations though, this drive connects easily and works perfectly. A good product.

Drive works great. Plug it in and start using it. It is thin, compact and sleek. It is a little overpriced, but can live with that. I say it was worth the money. It supports DVDs, which can fit 8.5 GB of data. Does not seem to work with blu-ray and USB cord could be longer.

Easy and simple to use. Plug into MacBook and off we go. Quiet and stylish.

Ive been an Apple fan boy for some time now and when moving to the Retina Macbook Pro I lost the option to burn disks. That was not a big deal to me as I hadn't burned a disk in what felt like for ever. To be honest I really did not think I would need to ever burn a disk again with as much external hard drives and cloud storage as I have. Well the day came that burning a disk was a must thats why I picked up the Apple super drive. I could have picked up a cheaper external disk drive but I really like the design of my Apple gear and how I know its just going to work with my stuff. So is it worth buying? My answer yes. Elegant design fast burning speed small portable and easy to use.
