Customer Ratings & Reviews

Don’t bother with the non Apple version. Waste of money, get this one.

Works good, for watching dvd's and playing music on my computer.

Got this for my 15 year old daughter to go with her MacBook and it works great.

Works very well, but another accessary that MACis requiring you to but with their CPU's.

Great DVD/CD player for price. Performed as needed.

I needed a cd writer for my MacBook and decided that this was the one I wanted. I trust Apple's quality (most of the time) and liked that it would match with my Mac's aluminum chassis. Upon purchasing it, I found a few flaws. The first was that the USB cable did not disconnect from the back of the writer; it was built right in. While if you plan on leaving this connected to an iMac or desktop PC this shouldn't be a problem, for mobility I believe this will lead to ultimate failure. Chords break or loose connectivity and without the ability to replace a $1 chord, I believe I will be left with a pretty aluminum brick. I also didn't like that there was no eject button (but that was not a deal breaker). I ended up returning it and went with a different model. I later went to Apple's own website and people were far less kind than I when reviewing the writer. If mobility matters, keep looking.

This drive is good, so far no issues and easy to connect.

A bit price for a cd drive, but as to be expected with Apple no complaints so far.

It's a great supplement for our iMac. I was a little discouraged that the iMac didn't come with a disc drive until I did research. Considering the issues involved with having an internal drive, I was glad to pay for the add on. It operates quietly and effectively.

It has worked great and glad I got it for my Mac Air.

So I bought a MacBook Pro & didn't even realize that I didn't have a CD /DVD player. So I had to buy an external one. I was very pleased to learn that it was on sale and that I could use my Best Buy points towards it, so it was a pretty sweet deal!

easy set up. Bought to use for iMovie. I have also watched a couple dvd's

Easy to setup. I wise there was a button on top to eject the disc. Overall product is good.

Bought this for my wife to use on her Macbook Air. I looked at the other cheaper units available but got concerned about noise and reliability. I ended up spending the extra few dollars on this one knowing that it will work just like her Macbook and have not regretted it!

Drive performs as expected... just wish it was still included in the all-in-one iMac.

This is honestly the best drive that I have ever had for a mac product both internal and external. The drive is smooth and fluid with both reading and writing. It is just super.

I have bought this for my iMac to play some European DVD movies from "back in a day" and it didn't disappoint. Played flawlessly and I was also able to copy the movies to my iMac as well!

It does exactly what I wanted it to do which is to play music for my Mac computer. Always great shipping and customer service. I can depend on Best Buy to do what they say they'll do.

Easy to use with Mac computers and laptops. Could not get it to work with my dell

I previously purchased an off-brand but had to return it. The Apple pro!duct was definitely superior
