I love this! The MacBook Retina doesn't have a cd/DVD drive so this is perfect! I couldn't live without it

This small stylish design matches the iMac. Fits perfectly on top of the stand under the monitor.

This is a good product if you understand how to properly burn cds. Unfortunately for me I struggled for a while when trying to figure out how to do it on a Mac. The product does what it’s supposed to do though.

the apple superdrive is a great product that is super easy to set up and use. the only thing i wish it had was a way to manually eject a disk in case one gets stuck (which happened to me, but fortunately, unplugging it from the usb port and plugging it back in enabled the disk to eject).

I picked up this external drive when I recently bought myself a new Imac. I discovered that Apple no longer includes a CD/Dvr drive in their new crop of Imacs. This works great. Only downside is now I have to use up one of my USB slots. But the drive is great and I do recommend it.

It is simple and easy to use. Pull it out of box and plug it in. Most Apple product s work well together.

Works seemlessly with my mac mini. Does not work as well as the drive in my pc for getting music off my cds.

We needed to transport music from CDs to our MacBook Air. This reasonably-priced (?) Apple product did the trick.

It works great with my MacBook Pro, although I was expecting it to play Blu-ray Disc.

...but frankly, i don't need that. this DVD drive matches the apple industrial design motif perfectly and like most apple products takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin' - never had any issues out of this. highly recommend this over the $20 junk external DVDs on Amazon.

I am a fan of apple products, phone, laptop, iPad, TV, monitor and even the new apple watch. But this product is really mediocre. I used to use a cheap $30ish HP DVD external drive and it works way better and more durable, although it was plastic. I had such strong belief in Apple's product and I purchased that without any hesitation. The first one was broken and scratched my DVDs and CDs like crazy. Somehow it passed the 15 days of return or exchange and I was directed to go to Apple Store. I wasn't happy about how best buy handles returns. 15 days and it became a piece of junk and I couldn't return or exchange it in the original retailer? What a joke. Anyway, the guys at Apple Store were really awesome and I got an exchange of a new one and so far it works fine. But as far as the versatility and easy-to-handle feature is concerned, my old plastic, light HP is way more advanced comparing to this product. I don't understand why it gets such high rating.

Compact. Sleek case. Easy to use. No problems with this so far

I found the Apple -SuperDrive 8x External USB at best buy Good Job!

My daughter needed this for her Mac due to a college course. Works great. Easy install.

External CD / DVD Drive for my mac works very well.

This is sleek and elegant, yet as basic as it comes. Be forewarned: the drive does not "grab" your disc. You have to push your CD into the drive most of the way before it pulls it in. I actually returned this drive at first because I thought it was broken! Works fine and reads discs great. Perfect for ripping your CD collection into iTunes.

I think it's interesting that MacBooks are no loner made with the Super Drive. It seems that this technology is becoming out-of-date even though I still use them regularly. It's quite durable, sometimes bulky, but a quality accessory for anyone that still needs/uses a Super Drive!

I like the low profile look to the disc drive and how easy it was install and was completely streamline

I tried a less expensive brand and it would not eject a CD - thankfully it was the manufacturer's CD and I returned it - that happened the first time I used it so I exchanged it for the Apple product and am happy with it.

So far, it works well. I wish that it had an eject button, but other that that, it works fine.
