Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!!!

Easy to use. Good quality reading and transmission. Requires a lot of power-draw.

This is a really solid drive. The case is solid aluminum, the cable is permanently attached to the back, and the slot loading is quiet and strong. The connector is an old USB square end - to use USB-C you'll need an adapter (no idea why Apple made this with this semi-obsolete connector when everything they sell is now USB-C). This is now a necessary evil with Ventura Mac OS. Apple did away with support for third party drives. If you need to read or write CD's, play or write DVD's, this is the only drive that works.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

Simple add on to one's Mac. Plug in the USB and you're good to go. Works good at both reading and writing. I feel like this is a durable drive that should last a long time. The price is well worth it for a quality drive.

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.
