    Work as it should, perfect for my older MacBook with Retina display as my MacBook doesn’t come with dvd drive and I use dvd quite often. So far so good and I can’t complain.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Bought this for our new iMac and it works great. Wanted a drive that would work seamlessly with MAC. Have played some movies and burnt discs to save photos. Very quiet when in use compared to others I have used in the past.

    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.

    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.
