Pretty much everything is downloadable now, so Apple figures you don't need a disc drive. Plus it helps keep the display/laptop really thin. But there are always exceptions. My old iMac had a built-in drive, and I just can't go without one completely, so it's a must for me. Easy to install and doesn't take up much space.

purchased this superdrive along with the apple remote,,i love watching my dvds with this superdrive,,works great,,wish the apple remote worked with it so i dont have to keep getting up to press play and pause,,,,but it doesnt,,so i returned the remote.,,Please make the remote compatible with new macbook!

Easy to use, easy to set up, works well. Very good product.

This thing works well. Durn and rip DVD and cd. It is quiet and easy to install. Clean lines it looks great under the iMac.

Like most apple items the price could be better, but it works, looks nice and doesn't take up a lot of room.

Perfect drive for iMac. I purchased this drive to backup all of my music CDs to a hard drive and the cloud. I’ve been steadily using it for 6 months without any issues. Easy to install and, so far it holds up to heavy usage. Great choice!

The device does what it needs to do in my opinion. At the end of the day it is a CD drive. I only got it because I recently got a mac mini and wanted to do some video editing and compilations and needed to take videos off of CD's. I don't think it should be the price that it is, that's only because of it's name. I like uniformity so if I buy something apple that I want to purchase another apple product with it. But I think if you can get away with it, then you could go with another product.

very easy to use! compact -complete and ready to use.

Works great! Easily connects to my MacBook Pro and automatically starts running. Every CD or DVD I've played so far, using the Apple SuperDrive has worked perfectly. Love how quickly it loads and begins playing.

It works just like it should. Apple took the disc ports out of their new Macbooks, because they thought people were moving away from using CDs and DVDs. If you watch a lot of DVDs on your computer like me and you have a new macbook you'll need one of these.

Awesome drive... Very easy to use...Fast fast fast...

I bought a macbook pro retina and it did not have a CD drive. i don't usually need one but i did not want to realize the need when i am actually trying to use it so i bought it right away. Best part is you just plug it in like any other usb device and you are ready to go. everything just works. that alone is work the price tag.

Easy setup and works exactly as desired. Have been spending past month and a half loading my 200 plus music cds into itunes and so far so good. The speed of download easily goes as high as 27x, but it really depends on the cd recording and not the player. Have not played a dvd yet but it should not be a problem.

easy to use. light and doesn't take up lots of room.

The price you pay for having an ultra thin, lightweight MacBook or a new iMac is that you have to purchase items that used to be installed internally. Apple says digital media is on the way out. Might be. But I still burn hundreds of disks annually in my dental office. Would prefer the internal drive any day.

The drive for me was a necessary accessory for business and recreational purposes, and performs just as exceptional as you'd expect this product to do. I'm able to be more productive while taking full advantage of the potential of my Apple device.

The newer iMacs don't come with an internal CD drive, so I was glad that Best Buy had one for a lot less than I was anticipating. It hooked right up, I popped in a CD, and iTunes asked me if I wanted to copy it.

This drive works perfectly with my Macbook Pro Retina, and does both reads and burns as needed. I've backed up and digitized my music and movie library with it, and it's more than paid for itself. Frustrating that my laptop does not come native with this functionality, but savings of power and weight are appreciated.

It takes up no space, very slim line and works well

Sleek, Quiet, Performs Well.... Easy to connect !!
