Many appreciate its compatibility with various systems and its performance in burning and reading discs. However, some customers find the price to be a bit high.

    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.

    So far this is one of the best investments I have made for my Macbook Pro because I love using CDs for multiple uses and I couldn't without this device. Great purchase so far.

    I purchased this to go with the new IMAC I bought. It was not to expensive even though I thought it would be. I just can't understand though why there was no DVD/CD Drive already on the IMAC. For what it costs one should be already installed!! That's just my opinion.

    Needed a drive to supplement the MacBook Air I just bought to transfer some older programs from CD/DVDs. Uploads were very fast and programs are working fine.

    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.

    Great laptop. I was reluctant to switch from PCs. Now I wish I had made the switch sooner. All Microsoft Office products work well. Laptop is instantly ready to use. Integration with iPhone and iPad are easy and useful. Got a great price on an open box.

    A necessity for laptops without an optical drive.

    Completely intuitive, just ":plug and play." My only suggestion would be a removable cable instead of the built-in one.

    Tried a different drive that didn't work. The Apple drive plunged in and worked perfectly and it was a return so it was discounted.

    There are still reasons to have a drive and being an Apple loyalist, this is the only way to go. Works great and is well built.

    This is needed if you wish to use any type of CD for the iMAC. It is also a burner itself so that is very helpful. Its lightweight and makes a great addition.
