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.

It works great, I haven't had any problems with it. I would just recommend for everybody to buy the USB Type C to A adapter in case you have the newer mac computers that have Type C input.

Slim design can fit anywhere on your desk. Takes up only one usb port. Works as it should Apple quality and craftsmanship

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!

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

Most MacBooks don't have a disc drive anymore, so this is a good accessory to have in case you need it in a pinch. Used it 2-3 times when I was given files on a disc and it saved me some trouble.

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.

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.

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.

Rock on! What a great addition to my MacBook Pro M1. Will require an Apple AV adapter to work properly. Don't get conned into buying a HyperDrive hub - they are junk!

Works great - downloaded my cds to iTunes in no time. Would highly recommend. Just remember you need a USB to USB-C adapter to use on your Macbook.

My new iMac did not have a disc drive built in and since in my work on history I have numerous CD-roms with data on them I need an add-on. This is compact and works so easily.. It is a great piece of equipment.

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.

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.

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.

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

Previous Apple desktops and laptops had a built-in DVD/CD drive. The current generations do not have this feature, so this peripheral becomes a must have. Very affordable, especially for Apple.

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.

This external drive allows me to download music CDs I already own to my music files. I also can play DVDs I haven’t added to my movie files. It’s very useful for me.
