I can record my music to disc on the iMac now. Only issue is such a short cable. But it's a great, slim piece.

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.

Picked this up to make for MacBook. Fast, quiet. The finish on it matches my MacBook and seems pretty rigid overall.

I wanted to watch DVDs on my laptop but I had no internal drive so I decided to splurge on this external one. Apple never disappoints. Works flawlessly. No issues with playback. Very nice, steak design. Love it !

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.

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.

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!

After purchasing an Apple MacBook Pro, this drive was a much needed addition.I run a small business and I needed bookkeeping programs to be added to my new computer. Without this drive I would be dead in the water with running my business.

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.

I needed to purchase a external CD since the new MacBookPro do not have a built-in (I guess CD is going way of the dinosaur, since most apps are purchased online now). The laptop is much lighter without it and it is kinda nice to set it aside when I do not need it.

Plain and simple, it's an external cd/DVD drive for Mac. Easy to use - just plug in the USB cord and you're pretty much set! I use it for my Mac Mini whenever I want to import music CDs to my music library. If you still use CDs and DVDs, this may be a good investment for you.

This superdrive does everything in the product description. Portable and efficient. All Apple products are user friendly and intuitive so you get all your work done fast and you have more time to relax, lay back and be entertained.

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.

I purchased this so I could burn CD's to iTunes. Seems to work as advertised. Set up was almost nonexistent; just plug it in and go. It was on sale when I purchased it, so I feel like I got a great deal.

My iMac didn't come with a CD ROM drive so I needed this external drive for installing/burning CD's to/from iTunes. A cinch to set up and even easier to use. For those who contemplate the purchase, if you utilize CD's of any kind even a handful of times in a years time, it's worth the price.
