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.

I bought this Apple SuperDrive external USB double layer DVD CD drive for watching DVDs with my MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and for importing CDs into iTunes and it works really well.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

Being that my iMac does not have a superdrive, this is a must have. Although most of everything is digital now, every now and then you will find the need to have a disk drive.

Great little portable super drive easy to eject disc

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

Apple - SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive it is very good, you can use a DVD tom watch same movies or CD for example you can watch have picture, it is easy to use.

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.

Glad to buy this to be honest although I think it is no longer necessary I still need and want it! I have a lot of CDS. :-D The only thing is that the cord (usb/wire) is built in. Afraid of getting the usb material tear. Once the wire breaks it's useless forever. I Wonder, will that ever get fixed though?

Purchased a non Apple brand to work with my macbook air and it would not read DVDs! Bit the bullet and bought the Apple version and I am soo glad I did! Not only does it work but it is very fast!

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.

perfect for all the apple users. i wouldn’t buy any other products if i knew this was the only one that would work. i recently bought an lg but cannot get it to work..
