    This DVD player is great for playing DVD disc. Sorry, no Blue Ray capability. I love the flexibility of not carrying the added weight like most other Laptop units.

    works like a charm! Bought from best buy because it was cheaper than buying directly from apple, and did not affect the warranty.

    I hate extra peripherals so personally I’d take the adds weight and have the DVD player in the computer. Since I’m in the minority I’m glad this little guy is available.

    SuperDrive purchased to go with the Mac Mini. Does not have a activity light, so it's hard to know when it is being accessed. Appears to work as expected, I was able to create a DVD that worked in another device.

    This will only work with Apple adapters only, any Third party adapters will not work. It gets the job done but sadly this is not a blu Ray Compatible. Built quality is great and it works as advertised.

    This drive is very sleek and space efficient, I like the versatility of it, when you are not using it it stores in a small space.
