    I realized my new Mac didn't come with a disc drive. This new one has been excellent and now I can add music to my Mac.

    Apple never disappoints me. I took the SuperDrive out of the box, plugged it in to my MacBook Pro and that is all I had to do.

    I wish it would play Blue Ray. Apple products are always first class. I have been using them since my Apple II in 1979

    I bought a MacBook Pro which no longer has the disk drive. I wanted to have a disk drive on hand as well. Works perfectly.

    It works well for using discs on Mac except you have to push it in pretty far before it inserts it and reads it. You almost feel like you’re jamming the thing sometimes.

    Overpriced but its Apple. Needed a drive to burn movies so purchased this drive. Have had no issues. Had a few issues at setup but got them figured out.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
