    Works great, but pricey.

    Product works great, but it is pretty expensive for a dvd-rw drive in my opinion. Apple makes solid products though

    I was hesitant to make the purchase at first but I read the reviews and decided to try it. I am so glad I did. Previously my computer was so slow when opening apps, switching from one app to another, or just going into finder, it was painfully slow. I now feel like I have a new computer. There is little delay and I can have several programs open at the same time and switch back and forth with little time loss. I am so glad I made the switch to using SSD.

    This external CD/DVD drive became a necessary peripheral accessory when it was no longer built into the MacBook laptop. It works the same as the previously built-in units. It accepts and ejects disks in the same manner as most car sound systems using a motorized mechanism. One of the downside of this product is that it didn't recognize the Blu-Ray disk format. The price is little bit pricy though.

    This may not be the least expensive unit, or the most tech advanced, but it's Apple so I knew it would be the most reliable unit! It matches my MacBook Pro, and fits nicely into my carrying case. I love it!

    I didn't realize that the 27 inch iMac did not have a drive until I got it home. I've had a 2009 model, still working as I write this, and just didn't think to ask or look. No problem. I ordered this, hooked it up, and played some previously recorded music. The Mac recognized it right away, and I have not had any problem thus far. Runs very silent, and is so slim, it's not noticeable as an add on. Just blends in nicely.

    Bought this product along with the HYPERDRIVE DUO Hub. Both were new from box. The hyperdrive fit perfectly in my wifes Mackbook, but when she plugged in the SuperDrive unit to it the unit would not work. We plugged other items into the HYPERDRIVE DUO Hub and they worked fine so I returned the Superdrive for a replacement. I found that the new Superdrive did the same thing. Went to Walmart and bought a simple USB to C adapter cable in the Superdrive worked as advertised. I do recommend the product. Just make sure you buy the correct adapter cable and not the HYPERDRIVE DUO Hub.
