    The super drive is too expensive to not also play Blu-ray. The connecting wire seems real fragile and the drive itself can heat up and get a little noisy. If you need it because you don't have access to a CD/DVD drive otherwise, get it. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend picking this up.

    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.

    For some reason my drive started to fail so I was told to purchase this and see if it helped. It did. No issues. I can play, record and burn all on this one device.

    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.

    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.

    I have purchased one before for my own computer and got this as a gift for my daughter because it has always worked perfectly for me. Speed, quality and reliability are just what I needed. There may be less expensive ones but this is worth it.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I've not had a problem yet with this drive. It does what it's supposed to, though the only thing I would change is adding a manual eject button. But hey, as long as the drive never fails I should never have to take it apart to retrieve a CD or DVD, right?

    I'm so glad they finally removed the cd drive from the Apple computers. The instructions for use were stop on, plug in... And use. I didn't have to do anything besides that. Great product and easy to use. Very fast at burning large amounts of pictures on disc.
