    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    I use this device quite heavily. I rely on it rather than any other device for movies and documentaries that I have on DVDs because I can take it from room to room and do not need to have a screen in the rooms in which I am working, as that would be very inconvenient (and costly).

    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.

    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.

    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...

    Works seamlessly with my Mac Book Pro. It appears more sturdy than the Dell as this one takes the CD/DVD into the player rather than sending a tray out to receive the tray as Dell does. Great product. (Wish Apple still built this into their laptops)

    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.

    For someone who has been alive 25 years I’ve seen the transformation of technology. CDs are barely used in today’s world. but with my macbook air being without a CD/DVD reader I felt this was a necessity not only for movies but also have pictures and music on CDs from my childhood. works perfect.
