    Bought this because I create large digital artwork files. I don't think I'll ever fill it. Plug and use simplicity I expect from Apple products.

    A nice extra to allow you to play DVDs/CDs through the included cord which connects to your Macbook Air. The drive is quiet and seems very sturdy, which is nice for traveling purposes.

    The external superdrive is great for those items that can't be downloaded via the internet. It is slim and can easily be stored in a desk drawer when not needed. Fast read/write time.

    Very easy to use. My iMac and iTunes basically do everything for me to play, burn, and copy files. Would recommend this product to anyone.

    Simple sleek design

    Works great anyone can figure it out. It is light and portable though it would be even better if it was part of the computer instead of having it be an external device.

    Nice sleak design that works well

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    While it does not have a lot of multi-functionality, this drive definitely does what it needs to do and has a highly compact design. Worth the purchase if looking for something compatible with a Mac mini or laptop.

    Pricey

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It's pricey but as with all Apple products simple in form and it just works. Doesn't need external power just plug it into your USB port and start using.

    SuperDrive will not work with Apple TV

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I love this SuperDrive to import all my old CDs into iTunes. It's so easy! It's automatic. BUT.... While this SuperDrive can play DVDs on my MacBook Pro, it will not let it stream it to my TV with Apple TV. With that said, I am not sure if it's worth $79.

    It is so easy to use, plug in and use. There is no special software needed or technical skills to eject a disk, just right click and use the options.

    Works Great

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Typical Apple quality ..which means excellent . Plays DVDs flawlessly and writes CDs with music well. I have not tried or had a use to try the DVD writer at this point. I wish they had made the USB cord a little longer but it is OK. I was not happy that recent Apple products have deleted the optical drive but that is the way technology goes I guess. Time moves on. It is a good unit . I just hate using a USB port to use it.

    Looking for something to seemlessly work with your Macbook or MacMini, this is it! Don't hesitate. Just catch one on sale for $69.99 (or less).
