I assume that it will work well. I have confidence in Apple products. It is more expensive than others available, but sometimes, you get what you pay for. I was just wondering if I will be able to record CDs with it. I hope so!

Plug and play use on our Apple MacBook and iMac. Must have for installing software or burning image and video discs. Only con is that the USB cable is short and needs to be sat on a counter within a few i he's of the USB plug in.

We purchased the superdrive in connection with our new MacBook Air. We do not use a DVD drive often.....only to install an occasional program here and there.....but overall we really are impressed with all of the new Apple products that we've purchased from best buy.

Works good too! This DVD drive is a little more expensive than others, others may have faster write time or come in a smaller package but I like this one because it just works. I knew going in there would be no issues and it matches my Mac Book Air perfectly.

Very good unit easy to use and compact enough if one has to take with on travel...

My new Macbook Pro has no disc drive. I wasn't sure if I would need this or not but it turns out, I did. I have a few books for school that come with optional disks. The drive is so simple to use.

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've been frustrated by being hampered in playing Keynote presentations I've produced on my desktop, only to have disks not readable by PC equipment at various sites. This should make things a whole bunch easier and eliminate hassles in setup and presentation.

Very easy to set up. Literally plug and use. Expensive.

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 got this as my new MACBOOK Pro did not have a drive. My 8 year old mac had a drive and I missed it so I purchased this external drive. It is great and I would recommend this as a must buy.

works out of the box, no drivers to load, looks great with the macbook, read the disks i needed to load perfectly. there are less expensive options but you can't go wrong buying apple products and you would not save enough to make it worthwhile

After deciding to go with the retina display, I wasn't happy to have to buy a CD/DVD drive (I have to burn CD's and DVD's for work on occasion, and I like watching DVD's on my computer), but this one was ready and available for a decent price for people like me.

As long as you have an Apple laptop, then just plug it in and play. No need to instal anything on your Apple laptop. I'm not sure if this works on Windows and quite frankly, I don't care to know.

Since my iMac did not come with a disk drive I needed one to upload some CD's and some pictures I had on disk. This was so easy. All You have to do is plug and play. Can't get much simpler than that. Now I am enjoying some old music I had.

The Apple superdrive is perfect and versatile w/a sleek design and simple to use.

I mainly use it to transfer CDs to ITunes although the transfer rate could be faster. Ejecting the CD is easy with the eject button on my keyboard. I haven't used it much yet but so far it works great with my 2013 IMac. The drive is very simple and easy to use.

Nice drive for the mac. It's fast and quiet. Don't like the fact that there's no eject button on it (I'm used to PCs) or the fact that It has to be connected to the mac as it needs a powered usb (was hoping it would just connect to my hub, but no, I have to sacrifice a usb on the computer for it). It also has a really short usb cord so it has to be right beside the computer. Other than those issues, it's nice.

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.

If you have a MacBook Air (which has no optical drives) it is a perfect addition for when you want to install software from a disk, watch a video or record a DVD. Interface is simple and effective. Works like a charm and keeps the Air very light to work with . Since CDs and DVDs seem to be dying with the advent of "The Cloud" it is smart to keep the weight and bother of an optical player isolated from your computer.
