Customers are saying

Many appreciate its compatibility with various systems and its performance in burning and reading discs. However, some customers find the price to be a bit high.

    since the new iMac no longer has an optical drive, this USB superdrive is a requirement if you want to use CD/DVD's with the computer. I found out that the SuperDrive must be plugged directly into a USB port on the back of the computer, not a hub. it does what it is supposed to do, though i haven't written any data to a blank disc yet.

    I had an issue with it initially where I couldn't get it to work on my MacBook because of region timezone setting etc. I had to set it up on a different MacBook in order to get it to work on my Mac. Wish it reads blu-ray. Otherwise works well

    So far, it works fine. If you have a newer Apple computer, you may need an adaptor to be able to plug it into the computer. There is no eject button on the drive itself, but cd’s can be ejected by pushing the eject button on the computer screen

    I owned a previous SuperDrive. It somehow got tossed out with the trash. Therefore this is a replacement for that one. Excellent drive. Don't know if this works with other than a Mac but recommend it if you have a Mac.

    Yes, Apple products may cost a little more than others but their products are worth it by themselves but once you realize Apple's employees are empowered to do what's right for their clients is the main reason I purchase them.

    Works as described. Nothing special about it- probably should’ve gone with an off brand to save money but it seems well made.

    This product is a great addition to the Mac computer for college students. My daughter is a graduate student in a psychology program and needs to keep interviews confidential. Having this external drive for her Mac allows her to do that.
