Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great design and functions as expected. If you can't make the external DVD break, it's a must. We still use the drive to create DVD's of the kids to send to Folks.

I bought this product because I have the 2016 Macbook and it doesn't have a cd player. This is perfect for watching dvds on my laptop and it isn't a hassle at all.

I purchased this item thinking it's Apple, so why wouldn't it work with my mid 2012 MBP? Well I was wrong. It does not work for my Mac. Other than that, I have used them before and they're great.

The service was excellent. Friendly atmosphere with lots of good features for my computer.

First of all, it looks very nice. Bought this to burn dvds and just because I haven't quite moved away from the disc yet but my new iMac has. I thought it being an Apple product, it would be the best and most compatible with my iMac but I feel that I should have bought something else. First of all, at $80, it is in no way a good deal. Second of all, 8x write speeds are way too slow. You would be better off buying something else that is both significantly faster and cheaper.

I definitely love this drive. It work great and is very reliable. I'm glad I bought the apple brand. It seems to be made better than other brands I looked at.

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!

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.

Excellent curb service. Product work as designed. This is the second one I purchased from Best Buy.

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!

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.

Works great for burning video DVDs. Nicely constructed. Feels much more substantial than cheap plastic drives.

I resent that Apple removed the DVD drives from their Laptops, forcing you to buy additional wired (and weighty) accessary! For that reason I cannot give it excellent rating

Amazing product. Now that most computer companies don't include disk drives this is just an easy accessory to add to your set up. I've ised it for multiple computer.

This is my 13th computer - always had HP prior to this. Like this and the programs and the way it interacts with my iPod and IPad. This is Gildersleeve the 13th.

Downloaded a bunch of my CD's to my IPod, saving money and getting exactly the music I wanted. So happy I took the suggestion of your Sales Rep - happy camper.

Connected immediately and read my disks with no problems. Copied the data very quickly.

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.

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 .
