    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.

    Super easy to use, as with most apple products it is plug and play. Just Mack sure you do not go through a USB hub. I tried to use a USB 3.0 hub and could not get the computers to recognize the drive. Once I plugged directly into my Mac it worked fine.

    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.

    The Apple-Super Drive is a great external drive that meets my needs. I'm able to play CD.'s, videos, DVD's, and burn music from my library onto blank CD.'s. I recommend this product as a great external drive that will meet your needs.

    This is the 2nd Apple drive I have boughten. I recently bought a new iMac, gave the 2 year old one to my wife, so I needed the new drive for the new computer. I never had an issue with the other one, and so far, no issues with this one.

    Love the portability. Have always had a built-in deck on 17" HP so wasn't sure I would like having this as a separate device but once cd/DVDs are loaded love not having to carry the extra weight on daily basis!

    This is a must have if you are getting a new Apple Laptop. It's nice that this is a separate component, which means if something goes wrong you don't have to be without your laptop, it's easily replaced.

    One of the best items I've invested. Since my Mac does not have disc and with the photo CDs I have stored all the photos, I was able to find photos of my loss ones. Its worth investing.

    I recently purchased a Apple MacBook Pro due to my old one not being able to have the software upgraded anymore. The new laptop of course does not have the DVD/CD drive. I'm very happy with this purchase of the reader. Works like a champ.

    Sure beats noisy ones or drives that overheated my previous computers. Works perfect with my new iMac and looks good too. I like that it’s separate, love it actually since I rarely use a drive anymore. Reads and writes without problems.
