    This external drive goes great with those who have a MacBook Air and are looking to connect any kind of CDs. The USB connection is simple and does not require any work to connect.

    I replaced an LG DVD/CD drive with the Apple Superdrive for my IMac desktop as the LG's audio recordings were flat and sounded like it was monaural. The Apple drive's sound was a great improvement, and the extra cost was worth it.

    The SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer Dvd±rw/CD-RW Drive by Apple is the best DVD drive I have used. It reads older DVD and CD disks that I thought were dead because they were not accessible through other drives that I have on PCs.

    I recently bought a MacBook Air and didn't think I needed a CD drive but I was wrong. Went to Best Buy to pick this item up and I love it. Now my laptop has a CD Drive and when I'm done I store it away and my laptop is as light as air. Thanks Best Buy!

    The drive works fine. I'm still cranky with Apple for eliminating the internal optical drive from the Macbook Pro. I frequently need to burn/read DVD's, and this feels like a step back to the old days of having to carry a bag full of peripherals around.

    This external DVD/CD drive had to be purchased since the new iMacs do not have an internal driver anymore. The drive works well, doesn't overheat and has a reason download speed that allows quick copies of cds to iTunes. all-in-all, a reasonable performer under $100. One improvement would be that it could be used with my windows laptop for work on the road.

    I went to Apple because is is more reliable. Had an LG Drive that did not last long at all. Even though it is a little more expensive I have never had trouble with an apple drive before so I went back to Apple.
