    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.

    Why buy anything else? Apple products are built better. All you have to do is buy and plug in to your iMac. It works from there. No software needed. Awesome!

    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.

    It's APPLE. What can I say? It works as expected. I bought this to use with my new IMAC 5K. Although most every app and anything else you need is subscription based or downloadable, every now and then, you will still need and external drive.

    This external drive allows mac user to burn CDCs/DVDs, and install external software if purchased on the disk. You can also view movies by using this external drive. Since the computer doesn't come with this drive, this is a must purchase for MAC owners.

    A must for today's MacBook Pro and very reliable. I don't need to burn CDs that often so I love having a sleek laptop but when I do, this light, friendly accessory does the trick. It doesn't need its own power source so it's extremely portable.

    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.

    If you bought that shiny new MacBook or MacBook Pro, this is an accessory that you are definitely going to need at some point. It has a very nice build quality compared to the less expensive models and of course, it matches perfectly.

    this is an awesome product I purchased with my mac, and I am very glad that I did. If you have cd's to play, it's great. All I did was plug it in and it started working. What could be easier than that!

    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.

    Recently treated myself to my new MAC, having had MACs before, was surprised to find no disk drive. No problem, I just purchased an external drive. I'm old school and like to use CDs/DVDs for back ups. Works well. Glad I made the purchase.

    Improved TV sound quality

    Bought this Sony sound bar to get better sound out of my TV, which just happens to be a Sony also. I figured this sound bar would be a good fit and it was. It even included the optical cable. However, we still have trouble understanding what is being said sometimes. We think it is the movie sound track-it only happens with movies. With the TV speakers, we would adjust the volume from 20 to 45 depending on the movie or channel. With this sound bar we only need a 4 or 5 level up or down adjustment. That being said, there is no visible or audible adjustment level, so you never know where the volume setting is at. But, I bought it on sale and it did improve the sound and the volume control is easier so we like it. It is also Blue tooth capable, so we paired it with Alexa and listen to music during the day. Again, a better speaker that Alexa's speaker. Of course you have to change the input from TV to Bluetooth, and back to TV. And you now have 2 remotes, Directv & the Sony sound bar. We don't mind these little inconveniences. We are older and remember no remotes, fine tuning and moving the rabbit ears to get better reception when you change the channel, and no blue tooth.

    Functional & dead simple to use

    Apple's external CD drive works well and serves it's purpose. This is the (extra) price we pay for those of us who have the Macbook Air or Pro Retina machines--no drives on those. Here's the trade-off in weight & overall footprint. Is it worth it? Eh..debatable. Yet, it's still a good product--just not 5 star worthy.

    This drive is not very bulky, rather small and compact, and a need for some Macs since no built-in drive is added to laptop. I figured it is necessary to have to download CD, or DVDs but really its just plain ridiculous that its needed to purchase separately!
