Customer Ratings & Reviews

Sleek design and easy to install with just one cable. No software to download or programs to install.

Nice size and does not take a lot of room. I have not used it much but it was easy to install.

This product worked perfectly and is compact and easy to take with my laptop.

with the new solid state memory on the macbook pro, and the lack of a internal drive, you need to have an external drive to be able to load previous software and/or to burn cd/dvds the Apple superdrive is plug and play and fast. could be a bit smaller because of the portable nature of using a notebook computer, so gets a little bulky in your briefcase.

Nice compact slick design and it works very well. I wish the cord was switchable to a longer one

Setting up & using the drive on an iMac was very quick & easy. Drive functions efficiently & is almost silent when running. Primary use has been to rip music from CDs. Speed could be a little faster, but is acceptable for light to moderate volume.

Plug and play, easy to use with new computers that don’t have a drive in them.

I still find that my earlier work stored on DVD’s has to be called back into service and refreshed to meet demands at work. This drive gives me access to the old content to achieve my artistic goals.

Easy setup. Works flawlessly and much needed accessory since I have disc I still like to use.

Love it! I'd highly recommend for Mac users. It's so easy to use and works flawlessly with a Mac.

Now that cd/dvd drives are no longer being built into macbooks, the external drive is an essential component for my business. The great thing about using the apple version is that you plug it in and it works instantly. I was able to use out of the box within one minute with no problem. the only thing I might need is an extension with additional USB hubs, so it can be plugged in while using other USB attached components.

Needed it because of course, Apple does not believe in Cd's. no surprise that you have to purchase all these attachments to a laptop and at the end of the day, any apple device looks like it's on life support. It does the job and has been working with no problems since the date of purchase.

With the newer versions of MacBook Pro and also MacBook Air it's very frustrating to not have a CD port. The SuperDrive is very very simple and easy to use and makes installing software or downloading CD's a breeze. I waited a year after purchasing my Mac to buy the SuperDrive but I wish I bought it sooner. Well worth the money.

Very convenient. Able to fit any storage when you travel. Not too big. Blends in well in you desk.

I understand why the drive is separate so the laptops and iMacs can be thinner, sleeker and lighter, but as always, Apple products are on the pricey side. At least (in my experience) these products last and have been dependable. In regards to this super drive, works great - I haven't burned any disks yet but it does what it needs to do so far! Wish there was a carry case to go with it.

Happy that I made the purchase. Easy to install, sleek and does it's job. So far so good.

Easy to use, connects to my MacBook easily, small so it transports easily.

Easy to carry around. Great devise to take on the go. Love how it plays all my CDs and DVDs.

Works well. It's fast and quite. Very happy with it.

I purchased the apple external super drive because I own an Imac Air, a great small machine that simply is too compact to contain a disc player. It actually plays movies better than my Samsung Blue ray player, and of course was instantly compatible. As an example, I had a damaged disc which would not play on my dvd player. When I inserted the disc into the external I could watch it on my computer!
