Customer Ratings & Reviews

Quickly uploads CD tracks to iTunes. Nice speed. Looks sleek and blends nicely with a Mac desktop setup. Perfect if you need to burn DVDs or CDs. Takes up little real estate.

This Apple - SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD RW/CD-RW Drive was the perfect tool to help me create a DVD for a special occasion. It was easy to use and worked great.

The all in one desktop does not have a dvd and this is not only compatible but has a small footprint to go with the design. It's also small enough to take with my Yoga Pro Laptop.

I thought that I would have to set it up but since they are already compatible all I had to do was connect it and it was ready to use! Very thin and easy to travel with.

I used the drive to watch a movie last night and it was fantastic. The directions were simple and the product is light and so much less cumbersome than a cd player.

Simply plug in and go. It looks good for an external drive because it sits on the monitors base, and does what it is supposed to do. I have only one complaint and it is the added cost. I'd have to recommend it because in my case, it's a must have and there is no other option available for the iMac.

Great compact device that connects well with my new computer. Got on sale so it was a good price.

Traveling to Australia with my family and we wanted to bring some movies with us... but because of the different encryption codes on the DVD’s that won’t allow us to play them on the systems in Australia, we needed to bring along our laptop, but of course, our newest laptop doesn’t have a disk player, so the easiest and best way of meeting all of our needs was to buy this simple and fabulous external DVD drive. Super simple and easy to use, we were able to play all of our movies on the planes, in the rental cars and also in our hotel room. I definitely recommend it!

The Super Drive is thin, attractive and easy to use. Also this device works well and matches the iMac computer overall look. I would recommend this device for Apple users.

Very small and compact, being a mac mini user the drive sits perfectly on my computer. I have used it every day since I got it and have yet to have any problems on it.

I bought this unit to replace one that went bad. For being an Apple product, the original lasted approximately two years. Best Buy had what I wanted at the same price as the old one. The new one is working as expected. This unit works well for both my desk top and my Macbook Air.

Find this drive very handy to switch between different machines when needed. Nice look, sturdy build, matches the MAC machines very nicely. Does the job quite well.

I have been very pleased with this CD/DVD burner from Apple. For several years I struggled with a flimsy LG burner and finally got fed up with it not reading or writing certain discs I owned. The Apple is substantially more $$ than many burners out there but it is sturdy, extremely well made, quiet, and I haven't encountered ANY problems with it AT ALL. Definitely worth the extra investment.

I had a few software products that I used on my PC, but when it crashed and I purchased a Mac Book Pro computer, I did not want to have to purchase new software programs also. I purchased the Parallels software and installed Windows onto a portion of the computer. This gave me the capability to load my old Window based software programs onto my new Mac. The drive worked perfectly and I have also created DVD's of scanned pictures for all my children. I think the computers of today should still have a DVD drive in them, but they are now so small & skinny, there is no room for one. This product solves that problem!

This is nice to have if I want to watch a movie or use a CD on my MacBook. With it being an add on it keeps the MacBook small and lightweight.

i was able to burn about 20 cd's in a short amount of time with this device. it is compact and easily fits in a sleeve if needed to bring along to view dvds if not streaming.

Now a days with apple, it’s impossible to purchase a new computer with a disc drive. This may be a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. After reading reviews on cheaper models, I knew this is what I had to buy. Definitely a buy you won’t regret.

Since the new iMac's did away with the internal CD drive you sort of need to buy this, if your going to use CD's or DVD's. Works great so far and I like how thin it is.

All I needed was a disc drive that so play connected to my MacBook via USB and this gets the job done. It would be more helpful if it came with an eject button rather than dragging an icon to the trash to eject. Other than that, it's been very useful for all types of discs

easy to set up. tricky to figure out how to get cd/dvd out after use...Apple not so good on paperwork options. still i like it. it is small , unobtrusive and works great
