    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.

    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.

    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.

    A solid & reliable external drive for my MacBook Pro 16 2020. Seamlessly syncs to my laptop. You will need a USB to USB-C adapter for the 2020 MBP that only has Thunderbolt ports.

    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!

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I needed to be able to access CD's and DVD's on my Mac. happy with it and no issues at this point. would be nice if it supported blu-ray, but not a deal breaker.

    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.

    The super cd thing is really handy. Just connect and insert a cd, dvd... thats all I've used so far. I'm the person who loves cds so it was a must have for me. its been about a month and nothing bad so far. I expect it to last as long as the laptop :)

    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.

    Works very well with my Apple computer! I only purchase Apple products and was going to get it from the Apple store, but decided to go to Best Buy and was actually surprised they carried Apple products for the same price. Great deal!!

    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.

    The good news is it works seamlessly with Mac Mini's, iMacs, and Macbook Pros that don't already come with a DVD. You can boot from it and, of course, burn DVD's of all types. The bad news is it's slowish, and primarily Apple compatible and doesn't work on PC's.
