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 purchased to use with my new computer which did not come with an installed cd/dvd drive. Works as expected. No problems so far.

    Great looking APPLE CD/DVD reader & burner for the Mac. It has worked flawlessly reading my library of 100s of audio CDs into iTunes. The only thing that would be nice is BLURAY capability from an Apple external drive. (BLURAY not yet available from Apple).

    I rarely need this, but it works great. There are less expensive versions that are Mac compatible and worth a look if you want to save money.

    This Apple product works great listening to CDs. But I haven't had a chance yet for creating a slide show, but sure it will work beautifully.

    My old mac had the disc drive built in so when I bought this new mac, I had to buy this separately. Very easy to hook up and use. Definitely dummy proof.

    Completely blew me away that a computer didn't come with a CD/DVD drive in 2017. This was an add-on to an iMac and has far exceeded expectations.
