    Found it was a helpful drive and a very quiet one too. The only thing I was not impressed with was the controls for it and the fact that it didn't have a way to eject a cd once the drive is off.

    I love having the removable disk drive for my MacBook Air. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is I wish the connector cable could be disconnected from the disk drive so it was easier to pack.
