If you subscribe to the adage “You get what you pay for”, then this is the external hard drive for you. It’s a quality product but you need to be prepared to pay a premium price to get it.

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.

it works really well especially is you have cds you would want to hear or even dvds

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

Easy to use. Priced right. Does not work with all formats of converted disks.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

We were told not to buy a computer with a hard drive because they tend to crash sooner. We bought an Apple 3 years ago and havent had one issue. We dont use the cd/dvd often enough to have it part of the computer. This works great when we need it.

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!!!

It's good for burning CDs to your computer or for watching DVDs. The only annoying thing about it is the drive's cord: 1) The cord on it has a USB end=a) it won't work off your Mac computer unless you buy an adapter cord; b) so, now you have adapted the end from USB to fit your Mac power port and it will ONLY run off direct connection to your Mac. 2) Now you need an adapter for your Mac's other power port so you can connect an HDMI cord and probably your mouse USB. Once you're used to all this cord paraphernalia, you're good to go. It's frustrating on the front end, though.

Non of my computers have optical drive players anymore. I still occasionally need to play a DVD or want to download an old music cd. This is perfect for that. Powered via the usb cable, no other power cable needed.

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.

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.

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!

QUALITY, YOU CAN'T EVER GO WRONG WITH STICKING TO THE SAME NAME BRAND. I NEEDED THIS TO VIEW MY ULTRASOUND PICS THAT WERE ON DVD... SO EXCITING. IT WAS PRETTY EASY TO NAVIGATE WITH MY APPLE LAPTOP
