Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

I needed a CD drive for my job. It took me a month to purchase this Apple SuperDrive, since I lost my rewards points when I first ordered. Now that I have the Drive, I am so happy to be able to play and record with my MacBook Pro. As with any Apple product, the SuperDrive works easily and flawlessly.

I bought Apple SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD RW/CD-RW Drive and its totally perfect and easy to use. This prodduct is stick on the table not like other brand is very light, it move when take the cd or dvd out from the dvd/dc drive and it doenst look cheap. 100 percent recommended!

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

We had to get this when we upgraded our computer to a Mac,the only problem with macs is there is nowhere to burn a disc or cd so if this is something you like to do on a computer than this is your only option but it works great and it literally took about a minute to hook it up one cable and boom your done

I wish I would have bought this sooner. I watch DVD’s with my desktop computer. It is very easy to use. It loads the movie easily, and is not complicated at all. I love to pull out my old movies and watch them.

I am unsure whether I agree with Apple's policy of not providing a drive with MacBook Pro, adding further cost to one's purchase. However, the USB powered drive is fine. Even though more costly than generic drives available, we chose to buy the Apple product in case of compatibility issues.

Macbook pros no longer come with built in DVD drives, and that is good. But sometimes you need one! This external drive is just what you need. It rips and burns DVDs and CDs just like an internal DVD drive, and it makes your MacBook laptop much much lighter since it is not internal!

Needed a way to upload music (from CDs) to ITunes as my MacBook does not have a port. Didn't need to read instructions. Just plugged into the USB port , popped in a CD and ITunes automatically opened and imported the CD.

I purchased the Apple Superdrive 8x External USB Double-layer Dvd±rw/cd-rw drive for my daughter's Mac Pro 13 which she uses for college. She has had no issues, but has only used it a couple times since Christmas 2016.

Since the iMac doesn't have a drive you will need this for CD's and DVD's. It works great and its easy do use.

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 :)

I purchased this to go with my iMac computer and it works seamlessly smooth and makes everything much simpler. I use it mostly for business uploading software and while on trips to watch movies Works just like any other PC DVD player.

It works just fine with my Mini-Mac and smart TV, as I'd hoped. Now all my dvd's and cd's are usable again. It's minimal size is especially appreciated.

Plugged it in, It just worked. Pure Apple. 1st DVD went right in with a nice smooth sharp high-quality action, and I was able to play (and import the content with another program), no problem. It's just like the older internal drives. I haven't tried writing anything yet.

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!!!!

Purchased this external DVD / CD reader writer to replace my MacBook laptop and old iMac, both of which had built in readers/drives. My new iMac does not have it built in and the external drive works just fine for my needs. Now I can get rid of extra machines that I do not need anymore.

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!

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

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.
