    I was a little apprehensive about this product and just put the item to one side for a couple of weeks. When I did eventuality un pack it I was pleasantly surprised, I read the instructions and I couldn't be happier with this product and I would highly recommend it.

    I recently needed to load data to my MacAir from a disc so I picked up an Apple SuperDrive from Best Buy, plugged it in and with no setup it worked perfectly. I have several computers and switch between platforms with Apple and Microsoft operating systems. Apple hardware still wins for simplicity and ease of use.

    This product is ready out of the box, easy to use, but the cord length is too small, it has to sit very close to the computer.

    I opted to purchase a cheaper non-Apple brand drive just because of the price difference, but after reading the reviews, I got this drive. I read the negative reviews about ejecting the disk and don't understand what the problem is. Just click and eject!! No problems and love that it's so slim and discreet in size.

    I bought the CD/DVD player with the purchase of the Apple computer as it is a mandatory device for my purposes. I just plugged into the computer and watched a video to check out the retina display. The only criticism I have is that there isn't an eject button on the player itself, it has to be ejected out from the computer.

    We got this to pair with a new iMac, which no longer comes with an integrated optical drive. We like the build quality, as well as its small footprint and stylish design. It can sit out next to the computer without making itself an eyesore, which isn't often the case with peripherals.

    Actually a really good price for this unit that plays all of your discs. In a world where discs seem obsolete, this price point makes this a good to have accessory since there will always be that one time where you’re going to need it. Easy setup.

    Apple MacBook pro did not come with an internal DVR drive, so I was happy to purchase the super hard drive, and play all my DVD's, and download applications. Thank you for the technical information provided by the store's employees.

    The drive works great and is plug and play . it copies beautifully . Ecstatically it matches the other apple products. It has fast play back and burning ability. It is slim ,but packs a lot of power. Love it !!! If you have a apple it is best to purchase the products made for it , it is a lot easier.

    Bought this because the SuperDrive in my iMac went out. It just kept spitting the discs back out, without reading it. Figured that Apple should work with Apple. Come to find out, it doesn't work. Had to search online and enter a piece of code in terminal. Reboot, and it works like a champ. Hopefully it lasts longer than the one in my iMac. It does what it's supposed to, but I rated it 4 out of 5 because of the extra step, that I had to look up, to get it to work.

    Purchased a MacBook Pro without an internal drive and decided to get the external drive just to have. I've only used it a couple os times but it is a must have for those certain situations that involves using a cd drive or even placing music onto your laptop if you like to still buy cd's such as myself.

    The cost of a generic product to save a few bucks and hoping you don't have a problem with compatibility makes no sense. This DVD drive worked excellent with the laptop actually no installation I just plug it in and started using it, that's the way things should work for what the consumer pay for these items.

    I needed to add CD and DVD capability to my MacBook Pro 13". I have an extensive CD library that this reader allows me to create numerous playlists for both my iPod and burnings of CD's for my wife's antique car CD player. It's a low cost addition to my laptop. Also, it's sleek design matches my MacBook Pro.
