Customer Ratings & Reviews

All Apple products I have ever purchased are sleek and work great. The only problem is that they are expensive.

I needed a CD drive for my new laptop, it didn't come with one. This external CD drive is great because it is fast and compact.

Easy to install and use. I have a built in drive in my iMac, but the extra drive makes some tasks much easier. It is also much easier to replace if it ever breaks.

This was so user friendly to use and works great. What you come to expect with Apple products. They are worth the extra money for piece of mind.

It is the perfect size and fits perfectly in my work bag. Great product and so easy to use.

I was nervous about purchasing the super drive. I read a lot of reviews claiming it was junk, didn't work, waste of money. I read others that said it was great, worked well, plug and go. So, I decided to take the chance and buy the drive and if it didn't work return it with the 15 day return policy. I plugged it in to my computer followed the simple directions. Put in a dvd and amazingly it worked, every time I've used it! I leave it on a flat level surface plugged in and have had no issues. My macbook pro is 2 months old and I run the newest O/S so maybe that's the reason, or the product really works. Try it yourself.

Love the idea of an external disc drive, no moving parts to replace on my macbook pro. Works great, small and easy to fit in my case to bring along. Works Great!

I love the dvd drive, it is very small and compact so it doesn't take up a lot of room. It was easy to use the first time. Just plug in and watch your movie. Great value

At first I was bummed that newer MBP's weren't coming with the superdrive built in because I didn't want to have carry one around with me just to use it. I have found though, that I didn't use it as much as I thought, so the fact that the laptop is lighter without it in there is a plus! I did buy an Apple Superdrive b/c I wanted to make they talked nice and worked together without fault and I've been nothing but satisfied with it. I was glad that I purchased it as I have still found some needs in my work for it, so it is a must purchase to have at your disposal IMHO.

While I don't agree with Apple doing away with a CD drive in the computer, I'm happy with this purchase still. The product is compact and is very user friendly.

I have a mac air, I rarely need a drive but when I do...I do. This is great and just plug and play I can even use it as an additional drive on my desktop

Great product that works great with my new Mac mini. Wish the computer came with it built in but it sits on top very nicely and work like a charm.

Plug and play with my Mac and it works great! Bit pricey but that's Apple for you.

I recently purchased a new Mac Book Pro with retina display, they however, no longer have an internal DVD drive. I purchased the Apple external USB DVD drive just in case I needed to load Movies or CDs and it works great! Plug and play nothing else to worry about! It fits nicely in my notebook case and use it when I need it! Matches my Mac!

Goes perfect with the new iMac. Pretty much just plug-and-play. Useful because the new iMac with its slim design doesn't have a optical drive. At $69 it's not a bad price.

Great DVD/CD player/burner. I plugged in to my IMac and no problems at all. Very easy to operate and quiet. Im very pleased with the purchase. Thanks Apple!

Easy to use. Very fast for importing CDs into iTunes. You’ll need an adapter for USB to USB C for newer Macs.

I originally purchased the Apple Superdrive USB DVD Player to go along with my MacBook Pro Computer… My MacBook Pro comes with only 2-USB Ports to connect Devices, but I needed 4-Ports to connect all my Devices… I purchased a 4-Port Powered Hub and connected the Superdrive, but it was not recognized by the Computer… As a result, I had to return the Superdrive and purchased an LG USB DVD Drive that does work… Apparently the Apple Superdrive requires a lot more power than other USB DVD drives… There is no noticeable difference in performance, even though the Superdrive cost twice as much as other drives… I am very disappointed it requires direct access to the computer USB Port to operate!

Just what I needed for my Mac mini, sleek design and performance.

I bought similar LG as it was half the price with better capabilities, I had to return it as it caused several problems with my Mac. This device works perfectly with my laptop, plays DVDs & CDs only; no blue ray. Size is perfect and fit nicely in my laptop case.
