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.

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!

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.

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.

Works perfectly, but the accompanying documentation was typically inadequate, so I had to proceed by trial and error. It took all of ten minutes.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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
