Many appreciate its compatibility with various systems and its performance in burning and reading discs. However, some customers find the price to be a bit high.

    It's different not having a laptop that has cd drive in the computer, but I've adapted. This is a great product and works well. I never know when I might want to use it so I carry it in the pocket of my laptop sleeve (it's thin enough for me to do this, which is great as well). I don't use it every day or even once a week, but I love it regardless.

    I bought a new MacBook Pro 13 M1 and needed an external DVD/CD drive. Since Apple devices tend to work together well I got their SuperDrive. I have a Caldigit TS3 dock and thought I could connect the SuperDrive to it via one of the the USB ports since the SuperDrive does not come with a USB-C connection. However, when I connected the SuperDrive to the dock I got a message saying the USB ACCESSORY NEEDS POWER, Connect "Apple USB ..." to a USB port on this Mac. I found out that I need a passive USB-C to USB adapter for the SuperDrive to work. Once I got a passive USB-C to USB adapter it works great. It would have been nice if the SuperDrive would have worked with the TS3 dock or came with a USB-C connector.

    This product works great, I have no complaints! My only complaint, however (not related to this review), is that the newer iMacs should automatically come with a drive – whether it be external, or built into the iMac like the older ones. But this drive worked just fine.

    My new MacBook didn’t come with a CD Burner. Of course I didn’t realize that until I had to burn a CD for a project I was doing. Ran out to Best Buy, bought this and had it up and running in a few minutes. Works exactly the way it should.

    I was surprised to see that it is not included in the iMac anymore, and that I had to buy this. But, in the long run, I think that this will work great as I replace my MacBooks----just pass it among the computers. Has a low profile, and looks good next to the iMac.
