I had previously utilized a non-Mac product wanting to save a few bucks, but the performance was just not on par with what I wanted. Enter the SuperDrive! This thing is blazing fast for both read and writing. Not to mention that I can still maintain my full editing capabilities on FCPX! Don't skip this product if you want quality and reliability!

As always...Apple does great again! The sales person showed me the least expensive version of what I wanted until he (quickly) realized I wasn't necessarily looking at cost. When he realized what I wanted he was quick to find it and check me out. Good work Best Buy!

Good drive, but worth $80?

So I bought a late 2012 21.5 inch iMac (first generation of iMac with no built in disk drive) and decided I needed the superdrive. Did I really need it? I am not so sure now. Granted, it is a good thing to have just because somethings are still on dvds, but I have not used this nearly as much as I thought I would. I encourage you to really think about if this is worth the money for you. I think that except for actually watching dvd movies, an optical drive might not be necessary anymore. I will be using this drive to put my short films on dvd, but it isn't even that fast at writing discs. Perhaps wait until Mac supports blu-ray and then invest. (maybe they already do, and just don't have a product yet)
