Customer Ratings & Reviews

Since Apple's Mac didn't come with a internal DVD input output device, I needed to purchase one that was compact and durable with a USB connection. The Pioneer External Player fit the bill, it is compact, easy to use, plays regular DVDs and Blue-Ray discs, and is a name brand of GREAT QUALITY!!!

This CD Drive is so easy to use! All I have to do is plug it in to the USB and it works as if the CD drive was part of the laptop--I've had no issues with it! The only downside is that you have to carry two things separately if you are moving around with your laptop at all

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.

I have used it. It works well, very easy to use. Purchased it to transfer photos from CD to my laptop. Couldn’t believe I bought such an expensive laptop without even having a CD drive, had to do something about it and this worked out well enough.

I got the super drive as a gift. I have recently got my first macbook and am loving it so far; but alas no disc drive to upload cd's to the cloud. The superdrive solved that problem. It works seamlessly with the mac. It reads both CD's and DVD's I would recommend to mac users needing a disc drive.

I was wanting a DVD drive for my iMac because they don't build one in and this worked great. One wire to hook up and it's small so if you don't want it setting on your desk when your not using it storing it away isn't a problem and just plug it in when you need it.

The premium superdrive. Oh, yes, there are less expensive models, but sometimes I just don't want to worry about compatibility issues. And the quality of the product is undeniable.

I bought this because a lot of people recommended this product to go along with my MacBook Pro. It’s been excellent so far. I burn a lot of dual-layer DVDs for filming jobs. It’s pretty fast and I can hardly tell that it’s running, since it’s so quiet.

The Apple Superdrive has performed flawlessly. I've read over 75 CD's to my MAC iTunes library with none of the load/unload issues that some have reported. Burning CD copies also works well. I've used only the native MAC software for reading and burning copies with no problems whatsoever.

As a result of Apple's phasing out of the drive in my MacBook and my old computer slowly dying, I needed to get this to burn a disk. Very easy to install and use. Also made it easier to add movies to my itunes library.

My new Mac Book Pro did not come with a built in CD drive, so I had to purchase this. It is super easy to use, literally just plug in the USB! I don't use it too often, but I have needed to to load vacation photos from CDs that we purchased and to rip some CDs into iTunes.

My old iMac had a built-in superdrive, but the new versions do not. So I bought the external one, which can be used on my laptops as well. While I didn't appreciate having to buy it in the first place, it really is quite convenient as a one-time purchase for several different machines.

Away on vacation, we were desperate for entertainment one wet, rainy afternoon--after the uncooperative weather forced us to cancel our outdoor plans. So the idea of a movie was great, but my Apple laptop had no cd nor DVD drive. So in desperation we purchased this external drive to allow for a movie to be watched on our laptop. The device worked as planned. We are now suitably prepared for more rainy days in our future!

Fast and easy product to use just like they stated in the store

My new iMac has no DVD drive, and I wanted one. To be honest, appearance played a role in my decision to buy this unit over others- It matches the iMac perfectly, and sits on the pedestal like it was meant to be there all along. Has functioned flawlessly, no negative issues for me so far.

A very fast drive that is nice and compact. This drive works well but is a little noisier than I like.

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.

Got it to rip CD's to Apple Lossless so I can get the best quality music out of my home theater system. Less convenient than downloading direct from i-tunes, but this is how to get the best sound. Player is very easy to use. Just plugged into usb port of my macbook pro and go!

It's nice to have an Apple - SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive - Silver. My 2007 MacBook was an alternative backup for a CD/DVD drive until I could no longer upgrade the iOS. Glad to have this plugged in for use as needed.

Apart from the short USB cable, which inconveniently restricted its position on my desk, I can't find any fault with it. What can one say about an external SuperDrive? It does its job with no problems, and it is a necessary addition to a MacBook Pro that does not have an internal SuperDrive.
