Yes it not fun having to have a separate device to have to plug into the computer. It works great and is fairly small to store away.

I wish all apple machines still had CD drives within them, but this is the perfect solution since we can't all have what we want!

Not Bad For A Usb Powered Drive

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Not bad for the price. Nice design to accompany my MacBook Pro Retina. Being it's usb powered its not as powerful as a standalone external dvd burner. Also only compatible with Mac, but that's to be expected since it is manufactured by Apple.

With most computers ditching the CD/DVD drive, I purchased this when I got my Macbook air. Extremely fast, both writing & reading, I could have gone cheaper but I didn't want the lag in speeds. Very happy & is worth the price

Best DVD Burner Ever!!!
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I was shocked at how great this drive works after reading all of the negative reviews. This drive does a fantastic job of burning DVD's. I use Verbatim DVD's. This drive is a fantastic drive. Don't listen to the negative reviews.I read so many negative reviews that I almost didn't purchase this unit. I'm very happy with my SuperDrive

Apple DVD player works!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Like most Apple products this DVD player works just great. I even enjoy opening the Apple packaging. I should have bought this Apple DVD originally because I bought a less expensive brand and it failed within 6 months.

Great build quality

There are not many external CD burners for Mac that I have found. The Apple Super Drive is usb 2.0 not 3.0. The read/write for CDs max out at 24x, 8x for DVDs. One cool thing is the eject key on a mac keyboard ejects the CD like it used to do on an internal drive (which is no longer in the newer macs). It doesn't open a tray for the CD, but rather "grabs" it like in a laptop or car.
