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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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 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.

I decided I wanted to have a way to listen to CD's through my Mac Mini. Probably could have paid less for something else but I wanted the SuperDrive.

I purchased the Apple SuperDrive since the HP CD/DVD drive I purchased would not work with my 2020 MacBook Pro. I have used it a couple of times. The first time it worked great. The next time I used the ports on the left side of my 2020 MacBook Pro and i did not have power to run so I switched to the right side ports and it worked. The 2020 MacBook Pro has a problem with attached drives. I would recommend this for a MacBook Pro computer.

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.
