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.

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.

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

Easy to use and works well downloading from CD/DVD

Works great. Exactly what I needed to quickly and easily transfer files from old CDs / DVDs to new hard drive.

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!

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 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.

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

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!

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!

This is the second one we've purchased since July - a family member jammed a disk in and it stuck in there. We tried everything to get it out. Took it back to BestBuy but they had to refer us to an Apple Service dealer. Went to Apple service place and were told they only thing they could do was break it open b/c it was an obsolete item and no longer being manufactured. Wasn't worth arguing about. I am happy enough with the product to purchase a second one but be careful to keep it level and insert disks gently!

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!

Love the DVD/CD drive. Simple to use, compact so it is easy to store.

I purchased this item for my MackBook pro and I just love it. It's small, compact and fits perfectly in any computer case. It's fast and works well.

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.

The Apple DVD reader / writer worked right out of the box without any fuss. And it looks amazing as well - low profile and aluminum finish.

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.

By far the best reviewed disc drive for apple laptops. I wouldn't recommend cheaping out and getting generic spend the extra money on this, you want regret it

Still have cds that have not been added to iTunes/Music. Now able to once again put them in. Fast, efficient, and plug and play.
