    Great for those old items you may have around the house hold still in CD, DVD format. I love keeping this around to be able to use as needed. Pricy however compatible with MAC. Simple to use just push CD, DVD midway and it self feeds there after and brings item on desk top ready to open files. It is very quiet and safe with all discs.

    I bought this SuperDrive together with MacBook. Like all Apple products, it is fashionable and elegant. Easy to use. The only issue is that it is more expensive than similar function products.

    Outstanding External CD Drive

    Now that few laptop brands have CD drives, there are still times when one is necessary. The Apple SuperDrive is by far the best both technically and in size, extremely thin, and the same square size as a Mac Mini. Carrying this accessory takes up virtually no space in any bag one uses. I’ve purchased several for my associates, making us all prepared for anything we may need in the area of media technology.

    This optical drive works just fine. It's thin and relatively portable, but not as easy as if it were inside laptop. The drive works flawlessly though, so other than the extra cost associated with it, it's great!

    A must for MacBook Air owners

    As an Apple computer enthusiast, I was disappointed to see the optical drive removed from the newest desktops and laptops. I understand that it reduces the computer's footprint, but burning CDs and DVDs is still something I do often. Purchasing the Apple SuperDrive is a no-brainer for those looking to burn data, music, and pictures to CDs. It is portable and only requires the attached USB cord to work. I have had no problems with it and am happy to have it at my disposal.

    A solution for a dying technology

    As advertised, I found it compatible with my Mac and PCs without any issue. I opted for the Apple version (more expensive) for the aluminum casing and the USB 3.0 option. My main use was for loading Windows on my Mac via Bootcamp. I have travelled with it and found the case to be sturdy enough to handle fairly rough handling without issue. Although I don't see much use towards the future for optical drives, a solid version that works on all platforms is nice to have.
