    I just bought a new iMAC 4K Retina Display 27" computer and needed a DVD writer to go with it. This does the job very well.

    Good prodcut for the price. Not impressed overall just a plain Blue ray with nothing special to it. This product is small and easily installed and is worth the price, but does not stand out among any of the competitors. The color is good, the features allow for solid playing of the Blue Ray.

    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.

    I had issues with the first item received; iMac wouldn't recognize that it was connected and I couldn't eject the blank disc. I took it to my local Apple Store and they replaced it with a new one which has been functioning correctly so far (fingers crossed!)

    The lack of a drive on my new 27" IMAC meant I could not run my printer or other discs without an external drive. This Apple product was on sale and works well!

    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.

    Expensive and slow

    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.

    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.
