Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ease of operation and great quality! Am enjoying my treasured dvd collection and music from cds

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.

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.

Real small and sleek! Easy to connect to my main computer!!!

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!!

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.

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

Device attaches easily and works with no directions required. Music is readily copied to music app on your apple computer.

I got a new iMac which has no disc drive init. With a great many CD-ROMs of historical research and maps, I needed a good drive for them. I researched many and decided on this unit. I am highly satisfied with it. It connected quickly and does the job nicely and efficiently.

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.

I purchased an iMac and couldn't live without a disc drive. I have been able to digitize my old CDs and it's great if you want to play DVDs, create CDs, etc. It also fits nicely on the monitor stand.

After purchasing an LG to use with my Mac, I realized you get what you pay for. Yes, this one cost more, but sooooo much better. You plug it in and go. Software is already on your Mac. I haven't burned a DVD yet so I'm not sure how well that works. But playing a DVD is perfect.

This is my first external dvd drive which is easy to hookup. Just plug it in and voila. I only used it once to install software and it worked fine. I have not burned any dvd’s Yet, but I do not expect any difficulty. It’s slim and contemporary and well built.

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

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.

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.
