Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have a MacBook Pro and as is with most computers today there is no disc drive. I plugged it in with no setup and started burning CD's for my wife. It was as if it was already an original part of the computer. No downloading of drives. You pay more but you get the quality you expect from Apple.

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.

Got the 27" 5k Mac and totally surprised no DVD drive. No matter what Apple feels about a DVD drive some of us still use them. Now that I vented drive works flawlessly. No issues to setting it up. Does what it is designed to do. Very compact, fits nicely on the base of the stand under the screen.

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.

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

One aspect I wasn't crazy about with the newer laptops is a lack of an optical drive. I still need one, so I purchased this one. It's fine for what I need, might have been a little pricier than I wanted to pay, but I figured the Apple drive would cause the least problems with compatibility issues.

I am not a wiz kid when it comes to computers. My needs are simple and therefore I probably would not get the maximum potential out of this product. However, it suits my purposes just fine. It was easy to set up and very easy to use.

I purchased this when I bought a new Mac. Not happy that I had to purchase it separately, but I suppose external is better in the long run as it's easier to replace. So far, I've only played DVDs, but it does work well for that. Just plug into a USB port on the computer and it's ready to go.

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.

Everything about this this Superdrive is great. Was even able to set it up to be able to watch DVD's from it straight to my Apple TV. Works great. Wish it could play blu rays but I'm not too bothered by that. I would recommend it for anyone looking to get a solid portable disc drive.

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.

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!

With so much on the fly work these days, it’s good to keep a disc drive handy that works seamlessly and effortlessly with your MacBook. I have only used it a few times, but it was a lifesaver each time.

Good and solid, compact and portable too! Perfect for those who not need a DVD drive or burner all the the time.

I love the CD/DVD drive- it is very easy to use - you don't have to be computer literate to use it, and it just as good as having a built in one in your computer, but the best part is, you only have to take it when you need it, so it doesn't make you computer heavy all the time. Great product and good price.

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.

After purchasing my new iMac I wanted to get a read and writer external disc drive. After an extensive Internet search I narrowed my choices to 3 different units. I brought in my 3 choices to Best Buy, and with the assistance of the salesperson I decided that the Apple unit would be my best choice.

This DVD/CD is very easy to plug in and play. It allows me to see all of my pictures that I had previously stored on CD's. I didn't notice that my new desktop did not have a built in DVD/CD drive. Thankful that this device is available.

I can't imagine being without a cd/dvd drive with any computer. Personally, I think Apple should include the drive as a standard feature with the iMac. Heavens knows it was considerably more costly than most Window products that come with a cd/dvd drive. It is a great addition to my 27 inch iMac.

Sometimes you just need a CD/DVDRW drive. This one fit the bill. The iMac doesn't come with a drive and sometimes you just need one. The install was seamless, just plug and play. Definitely a great addition to your existing system.
