Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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

I added this attachment for CDs. I have many - downloaded a lot to add to mu music. Great choice to have purchased this extra and above...

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.

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!

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 device to use with newer computers that don't have a disc drive to use with cd's , dvd's, upload or download family videos.

Sleek design and works well of course with Apple products. Useful transferring old files on cd to Mac or iMac

I recently purchased the new MacBook Pro 2016 80 1707 and bought this DVD drive as a supplement just in case I needed it although I haven't had to use it yet I'm glad that I was able to find it in an open box model it's always good to have even though you don't know when you'll Need it

I purchased this shortly after I bought my first Apple computer (Imac). I felt it would be necessary to have this since the IMac did not include a disk drive. So far, I've used it to watch a movie and save music from my cds. It works great and I'm sure it will come in use in the future.

The drive on my desktop computer died years ago. I bought a cheap replacement, and it of course only worked for a short period of time. This time I bought the Mac version which is working like a charm. You get what you pay for.
