    Be sure you get this one.The sales person kept trying to sell me a different one because he was "sure" it would work. Also be sure you put the black side with the apple logo on the down side. Otherwise it will not work. I almost took it back before I found that tip online.

    Worked as described once machine permissions were adjusted. If you own aMAC and this item isn't saving or burning it doesn't tell you to adjust your permissions I spent a couple hours with support thinking something was either wrong with burner or needed something like a driver when it was a file sharing permission. It works fine and it doesn't take too long burn files it's quite simple to operate

    I love the flexibility of having an external hard drive!. Going from a computer that had a hard drive I was tempted to buy another computer that had a hard drive but on the technology has advanced – have an external hard drive helps me bridge from one generation to the next in computing.

    Seems well manufactured and solid. USB cable works as it should. Fired right up right out of the box. Video quality as expected for Blue Ray. Audio is very good. Installed the multiple Video management/editing apps by CyberLink included and they seem to function well though I have not used them extensively yet. CyberLink software seems to get get good reviews from the major PC mags. Have several LG made things and they all seem to be well made.

    Haven't used it yet! I'll just have to take my chances - it probably works great. I'm planning on buying a new computer and since I'm unhappy that Mac's now don't have Super-drives built in, I had to buy one. I used my Best Buy coupon before it expired. It was cheap - Thanks Best Buy!

    While having a MacBook Pro is awesome, knowing that you have no way of burning CDs and DVDs outs a damper on the awesomeness. The SuperDrive is a MUST have and without it, my computer would have only been half enjoyed.
