    This works wonderfully! My newer MacbookPro doesn't have a disc drive and this works super well with it!

    Great, portable device! Works well with my Mac Book Pro when it comes to quality DVDs that are easily playable on Blu Ray or DVD players.

    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.

    Excellent product. I am recently getting used to using Apple products. It works well and provides the ability to add a disc drive to my Macbook

    ...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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    I just purchased a new Mac Book Pro and realized it didn't have a CD drive. I had just purchased Rosetta Stone and needed to load the CD's into my computer. Love this portable drive. Plug in and go!

    Not having a CD/DVD drive may help with weight and size but left the Macbook without a level of functionality that was sorely missed. Adding this peripheral has been of great benefit.
