    nice drive which I only used to load music, then off to the shelf it went. Perfect, Doesn't add unnecessary weight or size to the Mac Book Pro 13.3" w/Retina display that I purchased as well. It's a bit slow when importing CD's but that's not a deal killer. Price was right..

    Works great and now my laptop is complete. So glad that Apple decided to incorporate this option. Love the capability of inserting a movie or tutorial.Only thing......mine is black...not silver as described but makes no difference....I am happy.

    The super drive works flawlessly with my MacBook. The only issues is making sure that you have the correct adapter if you are using the new MacBooks with the USBC ports

    I purchased a MacBook Pro and now that MacBooks don’t come with disc drive I needed a reliable one for some work. Nothing better than this one . An Apple SuperDrive.

    I have had one of these at home for my Mac-Mini and it's always been reliable. Recently the internal CD drive in my MacBook Pro ceased working so I bought another one to use instead of getting the MacBook repaired. However, if your mac has an internal drive, this external unit will not function...who would have known. But the drive itself is great.

    We needed this CD player to download Senior pictures off of a photo CD that we purchased. It connected fast and was easy to use. We own a MAC and have learned it’s just easier to use Apple products.

    I purchased simply because I still enjoy a physical CD. Being that Apple has done away with drives in their MacBooks, this is essential for someone like me. Writes disc in a quick manner. Simple hook up with USB and it's a neat peripheral too.

    I recently bought a new MacBook Pro but it doesn't come with a DVD burner. I bought the Apple USB SuperDrive and it works great so far. I plugged it in and didn't have to do anything else. I haven't tried to burn a DVD yet but it shouldn't be a problem.
