Customer Ratings & Reviews

After doing research for an optical drive for my iMac I decided to go with the SuperDrive. At first i did not want to go with this optical drive i was looking at cheaper drives but after reading all the reviews and knowing the reliability of Apple products is what sold me on the more expensive drive.

Some times you still need an external like this, and this does its job

Tried another brand at half the cost, it was flimsy and didn’t work fresh out of the box. Back to Apple - just like always - it works. Is Apple perfect? No, but I can count on it and have for just over 40 years - not kidding.

I have not used it enough to really know if I like it. I recently purchased a new IMac and it did not have one built in anymore, which I think it should be, so in order to upload my CDs I had to purchase this at an additional cost of $80.00. I have used the product twice and it works fine.

This is a great addition to my MacBook Air. When you need a DVD Writer this works well. The power cord is a little short, but that is just a little issue. It fits well in my Case and adds very little weight to carry around. Overall, I like it, has a great look and defiantly looks like an apple product.

Super easy to use & seamless to integrate But its just another doggle to lug around.

This CD drive has a very sleek design and thin enough to pack up for travel.

The Apple super drive enables use of disk input into any new laptop or desk unit. Comes with UPS cable.

It goes with the look of the desk top, more expensive than it has to be. It works like I expected ...

The product looks nice, but does not have an eject button.

I purchased my iMac and needed a external disc drive. This was a great accessory to have for my iMac.

I gave this 4 stars primarily because of an issue with Apple and the fact that they can't resolve it. The drive works well but will not work without rebooting the machine. It is supposed to be hot swappable but no go for me. Have talked to Apple 3 times at length and finally was told the issue was unusual and they would have thier programmers get back to me...... 2 months ago. no response on emails or any kind of update. bummer.

I wasn't. sure this item would be what I needed, but after my purchase and the plug/play feature of the device I was excited. The Apple USB SuperDrive has been great. I'm new with Apple products and was very happy I was able to purchase this additional piece of equipment.

Was able to put cd for my kids to listen to music and watch movies

As an Apple product, this drive is pretty stellar. The only thing keeping me from giving it a full 5 stars is the fact that it doesn't work with older Macs nor does it work with any Mac that has an optical drive on it already. While I use mine for a new MBP, i was hoping to use it with my older iMac that has a bad SuperDrive. Also, I wish the USB cable was a little longer just so I could place it out of the way.

Having an external drive is just cumbersome period, but this is probably the best one out for the macbook.

I still use DVD's so buying this was very important to me. It sealed the deal when I purchased my IMac

I bought this for my new Apple desk top and love it. If I had only one complaint it would be that I just could not figure out how to eject my disk from it and nowhere on packaging or anything that comes with it does it tell you how. You do it online I found out eventually on yr PC

Glad I got the Apple brand for an external disk drive.I had to spend a little more, but I feel comfortable knowing I can count on Apple for excellent support of their products, since I've been using them for close to 30 years.

Its portable and works great with my mac mini. Doesn't work with my macbook Pro mid2010. Overall awesome product.
