Customer Ratings & Reviews

The salesperson was very quick to acknowledge my need, showed me the location, and walked with me to it while describing the product to me. It was exactly what I needed at a great Best Buy price.

I don’t use a DVD with my computer very often but it’s nice to have the option. Read/write makes it even better. Don’t forget the USB-C adapter if you have a newer laptop

Although nowadays almost all software is downloadable from the internet, it is great to have this drive when you need it. I do wish it offered a little more speed, but it is very serviceable.

Need a DVD drive at times...Having it externally to hook up means, I don't have to worry about built in "breaking" Easy to hook up to laptop, works great!

Working excellent. Looks as sleek as the computers. Do a lot of recording and use it burn my music to put on other computers. Like to have a unit from Apple that will do multiple discs at once.

I purchased this drive about a month ago an I have no complaints. I use it to play dvds for my son (of course I would have loved this to play Blu-ray but it doesn’t). I also use to put pictures on disks. I always seem to loose the little thumb drives so disk storage is the route I prefer.

With many computers not coming equipped with CD players/readers. It's a good thing Apple still makes this as an accessory. Especially when archiving your old CD's into a playlist.

Very good device Works perfectly in my MacBook air

Excellent addition to your iMac. Highly recommend and great price as well.

As always, Apple products are the best as I have owned a MacBook Pro for many years. So I traded the old off for a new one and I am very happy with my purchase.

The drives works seamlessly with my iMac. Good build quality as well.

...but I do, because I own a three-year-old MacBook Pro, which came without an optical drive. :/ Oh, well—it could be worse: I could own a *new* MacBook Pro, which comes with hardly any ports, never mind an optical drive. The external drive shouldn't be necessary, but it is, and it works great.

Fits nicely under apple desktop screen - very thin

Great dvd drive to burn all my music to my new iMac

I wanted an external drive for my new Mac Computer. It works great and is fast. I love it! I could have bought a more inexpensive one but wanted the one that works best with Apple products.

I was a bit mad when apple stopped including the dvd drives with their computers, but it's so convenient being able to use this with both my macbooks without having to even take my movie out!

This item doesn’t work with all Mac computers specially older models. If you cannot insert a disk once the burner is installed, it is not compatible. Check specs first

Drives add a lot of weight and girth to a computer, and these days, they are rarely used. Buy a MacBook Air and have this around for those rare occasions when it might be needed.

It's too bad Apple computers no longer have super drives but that said, this drive works exactly the way it was intended. It shows up instantly, operates quickly and flawlessly. Reads and writes fast.

Works great and love the design. Goes great with the Mac Mini. Just wish that the cord was a bit longer.
