Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased a new MacBook pro and needed CD/DVD drive. Reading numerious reviews of many different products purchased the Apple USB Super Drive. Ordered on-line, picked up at store and took me only minutes to install. Quick and easy, worth the price paid

The Apple Superdrive is a must for those of us who refuse to go completely digital. This drive is necessary for anyone with a Mac Mini or MacBook Air and wishes to add their CD collection to their iTunes library or watch their DVDs on their computer.

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.

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.

love this external DVD SuperDrive because I can use it with my laptop as well and if there's issues, just replace the external drive instead of having to try and go inside the old computers to try and fix them.

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

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.

As laptops in the more affordable range move towards not including a dvd/cd-rom drive, those who have hard copies of data, videos, and music are stuck with no way of using the discs. The super drive is the answer. You just plug it in through the USB port and begin using it.

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.

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.

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.

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 purchased this DVD player because I hadn't notice that Mac laptops do not have a built in player. Expensive laptop and no built in DVD player, WTF! this DVD player is great. compact and sturdy.

Excellent!!!!!!!!! I love my Apple s+SuperDrive 8x External USB Double Layer DVD

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wife missed not being able to make CD's when we got rid of the main desktop PC. This was a simple solution little pricey but its apple so to be expected.

Simple, easy install, plug and play. Only negative, no physical eject button.
