    We are a MAC house and we recently upgraded and none of the new machines have disk drives. This provides this needed disk support

    Although all I've used the drive for (to date) is reading in books on CD, the read speed is twice as fast as my old CD reader. Simple plug and play functionality with my new iMac.

    Had thousands of photos saved on discs that I just pulled from storage, but my MacBook Pro had no cd drive. Picked this up and was able to save all those memories!

    I used this to put a whole bunch of my CDs onto my Apple laptop and then onto my iPod Touch. Worked well. One could always wish for more speed, but it was pretty quick.

    I hate how the newer macbooks don't have a CD drive, so it sucks to have to fork out extra money for one if you need one. At any rate, it does what it is supposed to!

    This is an excellent external optical drive for Apple computers and though more money than those made by third party vendors, it is worth the money.

    No stupid flimsy door to open or close. Just slide it in and PRESTO, takes it and loads it. Very solid build. Like anything else, you get what you pay for! Highly recommend .

    At first, I was surprised that the DVD slot was taken out of the big iMac. But it makes sense to keep it separate, even tho my old one never gave me a lick of trouble.

    This was a great purchase and very much needed. I accidentally inserted a CF Card in my burner and Paniced. Thank goodness for the external burner. Back in buisness again.

    Daughter needed it

    My daughter loves her Mac Power Book-me, not so much. Pay $1600 for a laptop and your have to buy an external DVD drive? It had to be an iDrive so it would "match," when I could have gotten any other brand for half the price.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
