Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great necessary accessory for a desktop or laptop with no existing drive. If you have a mac desktop or laptop it is an excellent accessory if yo need a disk drive.

The drive is a great piece of hardware that can be interchanged between various Apple computers/laptops. The ability to transport the drive readily is also a bonus.

I purchase this superdrive with my Mac computer. Seems to be a quality product with ease of use. Just plug in to usb port and the computer recognizes it quickly. Slim and sleek design.

The drive is efficient, quiet and responsive. The only thing I would add is an eject button. Now you have to use the apple software (drag the disc icon into the trash on the desktop. I believe there is a paperclip tiny eject port somewhere on the unit but this is not convenient.

Works well! Just plug into the USB port and insert a disc. Quiet, small, design blends in with the Mac. Relatively fast; does not seem to take much power when MacBook is on batteries.

Trouble free and fast. This works better than others in that I can open the tray if the computer is on without unplugging and plugging it back in like I had to do with other brands.

This superdrive is small and compact and matches really well with the rest of my Apple products. Burns CDs and DVDs great as well as allows games to be played from it without issue.

Works great have been able to upload all my discs and CDs to the computer and digitize everything. Well, worth spending the money

I've had no issues with this. I know some people were saying they didn't like it, but it does its' job so I can't complain. I bought it so I could watch movies on my MacBook Air.

Able to use on the first plug-in. Easy to use and fast. Very happy with the product. Side note, get an USB extension with this purchase for more flexibility with moving the product around.

It is my first time owning an external drive. I am used to the traditional PC drive (pre-installed into the computer). It is kind of interesting since ejecting a disk is through telling the laptop to do it, rather than having a physical eject button. I would much prefer having a physical button to manually eject, if there were ever any problems with ejecting a disk if the laptop decides to malfunction. It was an interesting feature, and for now I enjoy it. Although I kind of hoped it would play Blu-ray since we are moving to Blue-ray disks, but maybe Apple will incorporate that for next generation laptops and accessories.

My experience thus far with this drive is awesome. My MacBook Pro recognized the hardware as expected and the device worked to my complete satisfaction. I used the drive to import music into my iTunes library. I have yet to record using this drive but don’t anticipate any problems. You just can’t beat Apple products like this, they just work right out of the box and continue to do so reliably over the long run... very happy with this purchase. A plug and player’s delight!
