    Since Macs no longer include an internal DVD drive, this is great to have. It is sleek and compact and works plug and play.

    My old laptop had a disk drive embedded in its hardware, unfortunately I broke that old computer and upgraded to the MacBook. I am a huge movie buff and had no way to watch my films, that was until invested in this disk drive. It's great and I haven't had any problems functioning it since it's so easy to use.

    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.

    Since my iMac did not come with a disc drive, I decided to get one so that I could play CD's and DVD's here in my home office while working. This device does everything it says it will and it is so easy to use. You just plug it into the USB port, slip the disc in and away it goes. I am really enjoying this item!

    For $70+, this is a bit of a crime on Apple's part. I was nervous about buying this because I had seen some reviews (from 2013 and earlier) say that there were problems with this device, and that it was the worst Apple-made product yet. It seems those kinks have been figured out and now it's a fine product. It's worked great for us.

    A necessary addition for an iMac

    When I purchased my iMac at Best Buy, I knew I would need to add an external dvd/cd drive. While I know this technology appears to be on the way out like cassette tapes, I have a collection of disks that I want to be able to access. Obviously, this drive is the answer for me.

    There isn't much to say about the superdrive. It's a super fast, durably made, high quality external disc drive so that you can use disc based software or CDs and DVDs with your new sleek, thin Macbook. It works flawlessly. If you need a disc drive, just save yourself the trouble and hassle of searching for alternatives and buy this one.

    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)

    Build and Quality are second to none with Apple products. I was looking for an external drive to go with my MacBook Pro. While I considered some alternative drives that were cheaper, I am glad I when with this one instead. It just feels like its built well and so far works perfect with all of my computers.

    I tried the Pioneer Blu-Ray and LG Blu-Ray drives currently sold at Best Buy. They were both underwhelming. However, this SuperDrive with the Insignia USB-A to USB-C adapter worked immediately on my MacBook Pro with touchbar. I was able to watch DVDs and burn CDs without any problems or any additional software.

    The external DVD/Disc drive for the MacBook is great as it provides the perfect companion for laptops that have no disc spot, so you can view photos, or do other projects. Plus, its an Apple product so it meshes perfectly and you know it's quality
