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

    Bought the USB Super Drive just because I am old fashion and not totally digital. Disappointed at first because it totally failed after one use. But Best Buy was great---replaced it with no problems. The one I have now works great.

    Device is well built and i expect it will work well when I get around to using it. It's Apple so it should be fine.
