    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.

    Apple's standby superdrive... works as advertized. Simple to use as everything is ready to go out of the box, just plug it in. Only negative is actually having to buy it in the first place. But I am really loving the SSD on my laptop compared to disk drives.

    I needed a drive to upload music cds to stream iTunes music. This solved the problem. Have become an Apple fan in using computers. It is an inexpensive solution. Easy to install and use.

    In the beginning, I had regrets spending 70 bucks on something Inwas uncertain of. Nevertheless, I have no regrets. I am glad and pleased, and have not had any issues since I purchased this (well over 5 months ago).

    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.

    This is a good accesory to have with a macbook because they no longer come with disc drives. Its not a bad thing that they don't come with disc drives for we are heading in a digital direction with music and movies and disc drives no longer are used for storage. However this is still a good purchase if you want to occasionally use it, and it can be used on more than one computer.

    This DVD ROM is perfect for all of your Alpple products.. It is true plug and play. I purchased a less expensive one and was very disappointed. I returned it and picked this one up. It works perfectly. Very pleased with this purchase.

    As new Mac don’t come with a Cd or DVD drive this accessory fills the bill for downloading from CD’s or watching DVD’s. Also a must if older software must be reinstalled. Installation is as easy as plug and use.

    I know Apple wants to streamline and making their newer iMacs without an optical drive is a good way to do that, so the fact that I miss having one built in is the only thing I do not like about this external drive. Other than that, it works just fine.
