Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

This things was literally plug and play. Created add to my Airbook yet. Wish I would have grabbed it earlier.

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 mainly use it to transfer CDs to ITunes although the transfer rate could be faster. Ejecting the CD is easy with the eject button on my keyboard. I haven't used it much yet but so far it works great with my 2013 IMac. The drive is very simple and easy to use.

Bought for wife’s new MacBook Air with M1 chip. It does the job with a slim design. Have not yet burned a dvd. When my old burner dies I will replace it with this.

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.

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.

Create customized DVDs with this Apple® SuperDrive 8x external DVD±RW/CD-RW drive that features support for double-layer media, so you can easily back up your important files. The built-in USB cable ensures simple connectivity.

Fast enough , great design ...... absolutely necessary if you need to burn cd,dvd ecc.

Nice drive for the mac. It's fast and quiet. Don't like the fact that there's no eject button on it (I'm used to PCs) or the fact that It has to be connected to the mac as it needs a powered usb (was hoping it would just connect to my hub, but no, I have to sacrifice a usb on the computer for it). It also has a really short usb cord so it has to be right beside the computer. Other than those issues, it's nice.

Exactly what I needed. Pairs perfectly with all my other Apple products

My old iMac had the dvd/cd slot built in, but I finally bought a new super duper iMac & needed a way to put all my old cds in my music folder.... this did the trick! It works great!

If you have a MacBook Air (which has no optical drives) it is a perfect addition for when you want to install software from a disk, watch a video or record a DVD. Interface is simple and effective. Works like a charm and keeps the Air very light to work with . Since CDs and DVDs seem to be dying with the advent of "The Cloud" it is smart to keep the weight and bother of an optical player isolated from your computer.

Good value and easy to use standalone drive for those who need it! Economical & features plug and play access.

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.

It's a typical Apple product, almost trivial to set up and run!I used it right out of the box to load Turbotax. Everything ran smoothly and now I'm ready for tax season.

Apple - SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive - Silver. Very easy to hook up and unhook. I can use it between my Mac and my Mac Pro. It is really a high-quality and it's very easy-to-use.

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.

Purchased to use with a MacBook Pro. Plug and play install. Everything so easy as you would expect with an Apple product.

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!
