Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is not cheap, but quality and design is as expected.

I ordered this APPLE remote DVD drive online. It was an "open box" item but advertised as being in perfect condition. When I received it, it would not power-up when I connected the USB socket. It also would not accept my DVD. It turns out that there was someone else's DVD stuck in the drive, which I was not able to eject. All of this was a HUGE waste of time, between the several days it took for Best Buy to deliver the drive to me, and then the need for me to take it back to a local branch of Best Buy for my refund. I was annoyed by the fact that they accepted this returned item from another customer, then re-sold it to me without first examining it to be sure it was working properly. Does not show a lot of respect for their customers, just a desire to save time and cut corners. Needless to say, next time I will do my shopping elsewhere.

Nice looking,slim,easy to use just plug it in quiet

It's hard for me to review it since only used it 1x.

This item was purchased for my grandmother as she still uses her disc drive but doesn't have one in her current Mac. It works how it should. nothing too fancy about it. Has a nice Apple logo on the bottom and it plays discs, what else could you want from it?

Good drive for burning data DVDs and watching movies

The sound output on this unit is wonderful. Get it.

Awesome device. Works well with my macbook air!...

pretty good superdrive but causes problems issues if bumped

Seems dependable so far. Looks good on top of the mini.

Bought this to go with new iMac. Works beautifully with it and fits neatly under the screen.

Disappointed. Was told by an employee that this drive can play pc compatible games! Got home and it didn’t. Should have done more research before getting it. But I’ll still keep it for now!

I have only used it twice, but it operates well, once I bought an Apple Brand adapter to connect it to my MacBook Pro. On the recommendation of the Salesman, I had bought an Insignia 7 port adapter when I bought the Mac and drive. But, the drive would not operate when connected with that adapter. No fault of this drive, but my old MacBook Pro had a built in DVD drive, and I wish that was still offered by Apple.

Apple needs to make one for blue rays compatible for units

My external drive allows me to save great memories.

It works like every other Superdrive. No surprises here.

Good product works great. I use for movies mostly.

Do your homework as to whether this will work with your MacBook and DO NOT rely on anyone at Best Buy as a resource. No where on the packaging does it say it will NOT work with a MacBook that has a built in drive. My internal DVD drive quit working, so I asked a Best Buy computer person if it would work and was ASSURED it would work. Read the packaging and appeared perfect. Until I plugged it in. Nope. MacBook will not recognize it. Only way to get it to work is to hack some OS code and sorry, not going to do that! Had to make another half hour drive to return it.

Packaged good. Light weight didn’t use for long but good.

this works well, but I am disappointed about having to not only add this to my computer, but purchase additional peripherals to make it all work with the "new & improved" MacBook . Adds expense and clutter to my desktop
