    I bought this because I was having issues with my MacBook Pro CD Drive. I didn't realize that it wasn't compatible with the 2013 model. It's alright though. I will be getting a new MacBook soon so I can use it then.

    You need this only if you need to use CDs or DVDs or burn them. Not too much use these days when everything is downloaded from Internet.

    It is a useful addition for the computer. I like the fact that I can conveniently use discs, which I couldn't use on my old MacMini.

    Nice Superdrive, but I really liked my original IMAC where the drive was integrated into the machine. I guess something had to give to reduce size.

    The Apple Super Drive is a snap to use with the MacBook Pro. Just plug it in - nothing to download. The finish also matches the computer. The sales staff at Best Buy was helpful in answering my questions about this product.

    Bought this and returned it due to finding my other, cheaper, non Apple one. I should have kept it. This other one does not compare with any apple product I have like actual Apple products-even when it says it's Apple compatible.

    Operation and quality of sound and video is up to the standard expected of a Apple/Mac product. Only 4 stars because I prefer a tray loading type of DVD drive.

    This disc drive works great as you would expect. However it’s a shame it does not work for Blu-ray Discs. Hopefully Apple will works something out with Sony that allows them to use he technology in the future.
