Got this so that I could download music from cd's to ITunes and then to IPods. Does exactly what I wanted it to do and so far has worked flawlessly. It is also compact and looks good on the desk next to the Mac.
I could not be happier with the way it hooks up and then performs like it should.

I love my Mac mini, but I did have to spring for this peripheral as I’m not quite so ready to stream *everything* just yet. It’s allowed me to burn my CD collection into iTunes and to play the occasional Blu-Ray. I’m very happy with it.

We need a cd drive since our mac doesn't come with one. It's mall and compact and was on sale when we bought it so it was a win win! Def. recommend this. It's super compact which makes it easy for storage when we aren't using it or easy to put next to our computer when we are.

Once again Apple has done the wonder of making life simple. Although some dispute the "ease" of removing the hard drive all together, I first bought another drive, which was a nightmare. Took it back and got the Apple, which I should have done in the first place, and the rest is history.

The new MacBook retinas are wonderful except for the lack of a disc drive. I'm baffled why Apple built them that way but happy the external disc drives are so lightweight and easy to use and am getting used to working this way.

I purchased this with my MacBook Pro so that I would have it and I love it.. I have downloaded all of my dvd's on to an external with this and it works GREAT.. It is lightning fast at processing and displaying the information.

overall, works just as an external dvd-rom player should: PnP.
operation is pretty silent compared to other dvd-rom units i've used. no issues out of the box, so that is always a good thing.
obviously, with apple product you pay a premium which shows in product fit and finish as well as packaging.
somewhat difficult to compare to other non-apple units which sell for around $30, but i suppose you get what you pay for.

My MacBook Pro has everything I need, with the exception of a DVD/CD drive. I delayed getting one, but ultimately made the purchase. This drive does exactly what I need it to do, and I'm glad I went ahead and bought it. I would absolutely recommend it to others.

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

Seem less accessibility and a practical choice for any Mac owner. Slim to fit alongside your laptop book bag and certainly necessary to access your favorite dvds on the road.

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.

Simple to install & connect w USB as SuperDrive fits perfectly (of course) with my iMac. I'm able to produce various types of media, with CD/DVD recordings and rewrite capabilities. Durable & reliable as SuperDrive lasts for years.

I bought this drive for my iMac mini and it worked fantastic. I've used it once to install Office and put it away. With it's slim, space-saving design I could keep it out but alas I don't have a lot of use for discs at the moment.

The external drive is a necessity for both my MacAir and Macbook Pro for uploading programs on disk, playing or loading CDs and occasionally accessing old business records stored on a CD. Apple makes a great device that is easy to use and light weight if you have to travel with it.

I bought this out of a need I came upon when needing to install printer software on my MacBook Air. I don't use this product often but it's nice knowing that I have the option. I don't usually carry it around in my bag but it's small enough to not impose any burden on the user.

So I purchased this CD Drive a few days ago to rip some CDs onto my iMac and it's super fast! So far I have nothing bad to say, works well and even though the price is a bit high, it's still an apple product that comes with highest quality and performance so it's worth it!

I know that CD drives aren't necessary anymore in this age of flash storage and digitally downloaded music and movie files, but for an old guy like me, it gives me comfort to know I can rip old CDs onto my new computer. I'm happy with this product and its functionality.

To have to buy an external DVD drive is plain ridiculous and means your overpriced laptop isn't living up to its duties. Fanbois swear this is how it should be and will pay for accessories accordingly. It's does the job the Macbook Pro can't because it wasn't built in.
