    Old School, but still useful

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Nice option for use with Macs, as they no longer come standard on the laptop or the desktop computers. For those of us who still need this option, this is a great 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.

    Very Good, not great

    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...

    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.

    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.

    Apple Superdrive Plug & Play is A-OK!

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

    This is simple, just plug in and watch your dvd, etc. The salesperson helped me choose this over a much cheapernon-brand because he said they keep up better with updates than non Apple vendors. Plus I am a Mac junkie, for 20+ years I have had no serious complaints that weren't due to my own errors and negligence in just a few instances.

    I know others have complained about the price but I must say this product worked wonderfully with no set up or reading a confusing manual. Well worth it. I have a DVD player hooked up to my TV that I cannot figure out how to work and what a waste of money! You will not regret buying this product if you need a DVD drive for your Mac laptop.
