Customer Ratings & Reviews

The drive works fine. Anyone who has a new Apple computer needs this. It's less of a choice but a necessity until CD's and DVD's are completely done away with. As far as buying Apple or the off brand- it will never be my recommendation to buy a third party product and think it works as good with apple computers than an apple product.

I have only used the SuperDrive a couple times, but it is what I expected. It works much the same way the one built into my old MacBook did. All it takes is having a way to plug into usb (may need the adapter on newer Macs) and going through iTunes, it will ask if you want to upload the CD to your computer.

I am the old school type. I still have 3.25in disks in my basement, not to mention many tools which I still use which are on CD/DVD when I have certain projects I am working on in my spare time. I understand companies are moving away from physical media, but I still use it frequently and am very glad I have Superdrive on hand.

Product works great, small and convenient. Easy to use as well.

As a new owner, this external CD-RW is great for playing CDs, burning CDs & watching DVDs. It probably has more uses that I don't even know about yet. Very pleased with this product!

When I bought my pro I hadn't purchased a laptop for a few years and had learned that most laptops do not come with a cd/dvd drive you have to buy an external one. I bought this one to have it match and be the same brand and bought it as an open box. It works great for what it's needed for. I haven't had any issues yet with it. Only downfall is the need to bring it out anytime I need to insert a disk.

I didn't know which model to choose from but was very fortunate to pickup this one, I also expected to pay more for my Apple SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer Dvd±rw/CD-RW Drive - Silver. it is very compact and doesn't take up much space. The quality is good and it plays very clear. I can watch and listen to anything i want to.

Don't use it much but it works just fine. I purchased this because I can't stand the new computers without a cd drive regardless of whether I use it often or not! I like to have just in case. On another note... too expensive!

Compatible with apple computers, easy to set up, plays old discs.

I bought this to go along with my Airbook because I often burn DVD's of videos for those friends/family members who cannot accept files. Also, although I use the cloud to back up my downloaded music I always feel more comfortable if I have another means of back up - just incase. This portable drive fits nicely in my computer case and is very quick.

So glad I bought this. As technology changes, this will last and still be useful! Imagine my surprises that new computers don’t have DVD/CD! Now I don’t have to worry! I still like my DVDs and CDs and this is so portable and sleek.

Works great, easy install, slim and sleek, highly recommend.

This device hooks up to an Apple computer very easily. It does allow you to archive information to/from a CD and probably a DVD, which is why I bought it. The device played a DVD on my laptop and therefore would stream to my TV very well. It does not, however, play a Blu-Ray. This is a shame as functionality/sales would increase dramatically given that most new laptops don't have a CD/DVD/BD player installed.

Great accessory to the new MacBook Pro's. By having the SuperDrive external, chassis size and weight is reduced from the MacBook... The external SuperDrive is solidly built and easily carried in the laptop bag or backpack for those few times you need it. Affordably priced...

Easy to connect even for a beginner and backs up flies quickly

Grant, the BB sales associate, said I could add this since the MacBook Pro doesn't have the capability to play DVD/CD's. Since I don't do iTunes or other streaming but do enjoy listening to CD's/watching DVD's I did purchase this and am totally happy with it. Wanted to stay with the Apple brand. Buy quality ... buy once.

Works well with my MAC. Easy to setup and use. Compact and doesn’t take up space.

Communicated extremely easily with my Mac Book Pro. Quick transfer of music CD's to my computer's music library. Haven't tried using it for watching DVDs or for data backup yet but would expect same ease of use. Would recommend this for anyone with a Mac Book.Reasonably priced and readily available in my local Best buy.

The Apple DVDRW drive was considerably more expensive than other similar drive and unlike a competitive drive that didn’t work with my MacBook Air the Apple drive could most of the DVD’s I burned ten years ago on a HP desktop.

The product is sleek, light weight and easy to use
