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.

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.

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.

This works perfect for my MacBook Pro. It’s compact in size, and is kept Tucktaway nicely until needed. Transfer speeds seem good and the device is working as anticipated. Other than the price, I think it’s a great purchase.

Works with my Retina MBP

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.

Pretty much, just your good ol' disk drive. Very simple and straight forward to use, small and does not take up much desk space. If you need a disk drive for your Mac, it's a good purchase!

This is a great plug and play item. Like most Apple products, it is overly expensive for what it is, but it does work very well. It is quiet and seems to be of good quality. No issues so far. Knock off 25-30% off the price, and it would get more stars from me.
