    Slim design and easy to use. USB cable does not detach from drive. Don't have to worry about losing it, but hope it doesn't prematurely become the weak point.

    Easy to use Superdrive

    I was happy to get an opened box superdrive so it was a few dollars cheaper. Some people might be upset that a drive isn't built into the Macbook Pro, but I enjoy that it is so much lighter and it is one less thing that might become damaged on your laptop. The superdrive is easy to set up and a breeze to use. I guess it could become awkward carrying it around, and it might be easy to lose or forget about.

    Plug and play. Works perfect with Mac as it obviously should. Should include Blu-Ray but doesn't .... this is the big lacking feature that would bump it to a 5.0

    Satisfactory. It's beautifully sleek. I was a bit surprised it takes some pressure to ease a CD into the drive but, is small and makes minimal noise while operating.

    I bought this for business and personal use when I changed over to the MacBook Pro Retina and it had no super drive. I attached it to the Mac and it works flawlessly. I love having my computer smaller due to no superdrive included, and if I need to upload a disc or burn one, I can take the external superdrive out, hook it up and I'm off and running. I would definitely purchase this product again!

    Great add on to an apple unit that does not have an internal CD or DVD drive. Ejecting was a little confusing at first but very easy when getting used to finding the procedure on the laptop screen. Worked well watching video or playing CD;s and putting them into iTunes from my own collection.

    The apple superdrive 8x external usb double-layer dvd rw/cd-rw drive-silver is the best product for the price. It is not plastic like many other brands that feel flimsy and more easily breakable. Of course one should not bend it in half or throw it around. Just saying that it is very durable works every time for me. I like the menus that pop up for easy use for whatever function that I use.

    Since computers aren't coming with drives anymore, unfortunately there are occasions you still need one. Hated to spend the money for something infrequently used but also hate the inconvenience of not having one available when needed. So I bit the bullet and purchased this great drive for my MacBook Pro and glad I did! Works like a charm.
