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

I purchased this DVD player because I needed a way to play them on my MacBook Pro. I am so happy that I bought this because now I can use my Rosetta Stone Spanish Disc and other workout DVD's. This was a life saver, thanks Best Buy!!!!

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.

It is a Super Drive! A very expensive super drive, the reason for the four stars. Yes, I could have gotten something cheaper that would have worked just as well, but my luck over the years with drives like this has not been good. Spend the money on the Apple, it works and works and works. When they first came out I bought one of these, years ago, the kids still have it and it is still going strong.

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.

I was happy to find a reliable Apple replace for optical drive for my 2012 iMac—and I got it for less than the list price as an open box product at Best Buy. I have had for about six weeks, and it works just fine and completely silently!

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

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.

Two other drives couldn’t work with my Mac without jumping through hoops. But this, and all I had to do was plug it in. Paying for simplicity has its advantages I suppose.

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.

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!

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.

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.

This Mac Super Drive lives up to its reputation as a reliable addition to your Mac products. I use this often to burn music to discs and it is very easy to use. I highly recommend it. Worth the low price.

I know CDs and DVDs are going to the wayside eventually, but you never know when you'll need this baby. For $79, it's a nice piece of equipment to have. Simple connection via USB on the back of my IMac. Thanks to Cuyahoga Falls BestBuy for the suggestion :)

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 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.

I purchased this Apple SuperDrive last year and have been very happy with it. It runs quiet and is reliable. The burning process is quick. I also love the simple styling of it. I would definitely recommend this drive to those who are in the market.

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.

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.
