Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

i bought the drive for my mac mini so i could import my cd's into itunes. simple plug and play. thought about buying a different drive from another company for less money for what i was doing but i like apple products. in a nut shell for me apple products just work. never had a problem with anything apple that i bought. solid build and great match for my mac mini.

This apple external drive is fabulous. Very easy to use and very thin and awesome

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.

Very fast, does not take up much space on my desk, and Apple quality!

This product great fast quiet and it will read alomost anything you through at it.

Easy setup and great size. Works perfect for business and for the family.

Very minimalistic and yet so stunning. Runs dvds quietly.

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.

Great additional option when needed. At times, you realize that cd’s are still needed. Everything is available if you just do your research. Removing the cd-rom I thought was an error, at first…then it worked out for me!

The drive works well and is located in a handy place. Easy to operate.

Apple has done a great job with this optical Drive. It is quiet and RW is fast too.

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.

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!

Superdrive works great with my Mac. It is more expensive than other cd drives but I was afraid of compatibility issues with a different brand.

Very easy to install. I love this product its very slim and compact.

Small and compact and does the necessary job.Burns real fast and with very good results.

I wish Apple still built drives inside their Macs, but since they don't this is now your option. You can get other drives for a few dollars cheaper, but I always buy a single brand because I know all the components will work together perfectly. It is portable, which is one advantage.

As expected this SuperDrive works great. It installed itself on my MacBook Air and it was ready to go. I think the user manual could be better, but that's not Best Buy's fault. I still wish apple would put an eject button on their drives. That being said, the read and write speeds are pretty fast. If you need an external USB DVD reader/writer you can't go wrong.

great cd-rom product, connects easily to computer, small & compact
