    (good idea) instead of having it built in the computer, if it ever breaks i don't need to bring my computer in to get fixed !!! a lot easer to get a new one

    It took me a little bit to figure out how to eject a DVD, but that was me getting used to my MacBook. It's nice to have if, like myself, you have kids and a lot of DVD's.

    Not just a cd/dvd drive but also an optical and rw drive. Covers all the bases. Simple plug and play. No hassles. No drivers to download.

    Although it is loose, I have found a spot for this external drive in my shoulder bag. It is easy to use and my MacBook pro easily recognizes the super drive.

    New laptops are so small that they no longer contain a disc drive. I still use them to occasionally transfer info or burn music discs. Still a must have!

    It's too bad the Mac Book Pro's don't have a DVD player, but this player serves it's purpose. but the USB cable should be longer so that the DVD player can be placed in different locations. with as short as it is it placement can only be on the left side of the computer.

    Let's be honest, some companies still require use of a CD/DVD to download or update programs. I don't need to carry the drive with me, but I have it when I need it.
