    I realize that the trend is to purchase programs and apps on line, but there are times that you need to download software that you have. It is a shame the the drive is no longer build in the IMac. But this drive works well, and is easy to set up and use.

    I had a number of CD's and DVD's that I wanted to play on my iMac , so I purchased the apple drive and it is fantastic. So easy to use. I installed a dvd for a new printer and that was also very easy

    At first I wasn't pleased to discover that the Macbook Pro doesn't have a built in drive. I purchased this product because I use the drive feature quite a bit. I actually like the product and the portability and when I'm with other Mac users we can all use it.

    Works perfectly, but the accompanying documentation was typically inadequate, so I had to proceed by trial and error. It took all of ten minutes.

    We purchased a new iMac for our second home. Our first one had a port for adding music and movies in the unit, but this one did not. We haven’t used it yet but we’re happy to find one that would accomplish that task at such a great price.

    The Apple SuperDrive is the perfect drive for your iMac or your MacBook Air. I use it on my iMac 20 inch and it has worked perfectly. I never thought I'd be using It so much but comes in really handy especially for burning and ripping CDs/DVD.

    I got this for my mac because I still like buying physical music on cd and have a lot of discs that I still use for work and school as well. The super drive is easy to setup and use. Just plug it into any USB on your computer and it's ready to go.

    Went a long time without any kind of external DVD drive for my Mac Book Pro laptop - the first generation to not have an internal DVD drive. Some software still comes on CD so is useful for that - and converting songs off 100's of music CDs into iTunes.

    I needed an external optical drive for my MacBook, and tried one of the Samsung models. Sure, it felt like a laptop drive with a plastic cover, but it seemed work and actually looked more substantial that similar $30 models. Well, the motor noises were bit a loud, and I thought nothing of it. Two months later it couldn’t read CDs. Chastened, I bought this instead. Its mechanism is probably not much different than the Samsung, but the substantial casing is much quieter, and that probably keeps the mechanism more stable and less subject to vibration.

    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.

    As I have a imac and needed a CD drive, bought this at Best Buy and it has continued to work without any problems. Easy to operate as the imac recognizes it and I can control everything from the computer. A definite great buy.

    I gave this, along with a MacBook Air, as a gift to a family member and they love both. From what they've told me it's very easy to use and they're glad to have it since the newer model laptops do not include this feature.

    I love my MacBook Air for its slimness, but I still need to occasionally utilize CDs and DVDs for graduate school and work. The SuperDive is an easy plug and go setup, has incredible reader stabilizer, and fits easily in any bag that houses my laptop.

    This purchase is a must if you need a external dvd drive, since the newer MacBook Pro's do not include anymore. Usb thumb drives have their place, dvd drives have theirs.Superdrive has the typical excellent Apple build quality, and functions perfectly.
