Customer Ratings & Reviews

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 have one of the MAC BookPros without DVD and this product is just needed from time to time. Had an older one which bit the dust after 5 years of usage thus I expect similar if not more time as DVDs are used less. Flawless usage experience and highly recommended.

We use a cd rom to produce copies of songs for our children's choir at church. We also use the cd to watch some movies as well as listen to music. It is a great help and works flawlessly. I am new to the Apple products but have had little problem working my way through the learning curve.

Works Great. In this day and age to think an item this simple is almost extinct, WOW. Saves me a lot of running around.

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.

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!

Set up was quick and easy. Just plugged in the USB connection and viola it works! Thought I would miss my previous built in optical drive but didn't use it that much. This is great because it's there when I need it, but my computer is thinner and lighter without it. Burns cd's and dvd's fast.

Simple to use, small to fit anywhere on a desktop.

We never thought we would need a cd drive when we bought the laptop. But, my daughter needed it for college. We tried the LG drive for less money. It was very slow and flimsy. This drive from Apple is well made and works well.

Now that most computers do not come with an internal dvd, cd, rw drive you may have to buy an external one if you need or want it, for downloading things (like my printer), or reading other discs. This one goes with my MAC and it works just fine.

This is a solid piece of tech, with high-quality construction and sleek appearance. The slot-loading was a must for my work area, as tray loading is a pain. I don't think optical drives are anywhere near obsolete and resent slightly that this had to be an added expense to my new iMac. I still like to have hard copies of my software, and audio/ visual media and bought this. It's a little loud in comparison with the ultra-quiet computers but nothing that is bothersome. Easy to set up.

Works as it should with MacBook Pro. Plug and play.

Easy to use and setup. Very quick with making copies and backing up data. I only wish the cord was a little longer...

I have purchased this product before with a older MacBook, but unfortunately I had to return it not because anything was wrong with it but simply because.... I didn’t really need it... the new MacBooks are great, and everything nowadays is downloadable.. so maybe next time!!

I was on the fence about purchasing this with so many negative reviews. But I wanted to stick with an Apple product to go with my new MacBook. No regrets here, everything works great, no problems at all.

I do miss laptops that have the dvd/cd drive included. Besides that, it works as you would expect it to. The only issue is that the apple laptops never have enough ports on them!

Used for tax software and burning photos on my MacBook Pro. Used a usb to usb-c adapter. Dragged one folder onto another and tax software was ready to use. Used a memory card adapter to load to desktop. Clicked on icon and selected burn. Inserted a blank disk and was all set.

We recently purchased a new Mac desktop (first-time Mac owners!) and had absolutely no idea that there was no DVD/CD drive! So we quickly went online and found this gem - it arrived right away and is easy to hook up - just plug it in and it's ready to go. Very lightweight and portable - great purchase.

Great inexpensive, simple replacement for a failing internal SuperDrive on my iMac. Though advertised as working only with Macs without a drive, found a workaround on the support site that allows me to use it as a second drive. Does a great job!
