Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!!

Can use it for my desktop and our laptop. Small and compact. Connects by USB cable.

I plugged the SuperDrive into my iMac USB port and was using it within minutes. No installation procedures. Just plug and play. It's nice to not have a separate power supply to manage.

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.

Needed to transfer video of performances to DVD. Purchased. For the band to use. Works well as far as I know. What was great was the ease of purchase. Placed on line, then an email was sent when ready to pick up in store. All completed in about an hour.

I purchased this because my 2nd MBP has no cd/dvd drive. I think its a major set back for Apple, offer the "Air" but keep the MBP with the drive. The unit is compact and fits inside my briefcase/backback without taking any significant amount of space. In all honesty I haven't used the drive yet. I trust in Apple products. I haven't bitten into a bad Apple yet.

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.

As an older user, I really regret the lack of built-in DVD drives, but there is a solution for those of us who still utilize that technology. This external drive works seamlessly with our new Mac. Plug it in, and everything is quickly accessible.

Picked this up to make for MacBook. Fast, quiet. The finish on it matches my MacBook and seems pretty rigid overall.

I purchased this as I needed a CD/DVD option for my iMac. Since it is an Apple product, it was plug and play. Seems to be very nice quality and works well!

Since most laptops don't come with internal drives this is the perfect gift for someone who wants to burn movies, music, etc. Easy to set up and user friendly. The person I gave this to was vary happy to receive it.

The MacBook Air is perfect for someone who travels with it due to its function capabilities and light weight, though it does not have a DVD or CD player. The Super Drive 8x is the perfect accompaniment for that purpose, easy to use and runs well.

Rock on! What a great addition to my MacBook Pro M1. Will require an Apple AV adapter to work properly. Don't get conned into buying a HyperDrive hub - they are junk!

The DVD drive is sleek with a small footprint, and a must if you do any kind of serious work on your Mac. Out of the box, plug in the usb connection and I was ready to go. No software to worry about. And, very reasonably priced...love it!

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.

The only downside to my new iMac was that it didn't come with a disc drive. Which is essential for downloading certain programs (like Photoshop). I purchased this neccessay drive reluctantly, but it's great and easy to use.

It's just a DVD drive that matches my MacBook Pro. Nothing special, but nothing underwhelming either. I plugged it in and it automatically worked. I used it to obtain the digital copies from movie disks I own. It has the build quality I expect from Apple. I kinda wish they'd upgrade all their disk drives to Blu-Ray but it's not often a disk of any kind gets used in the house.

Product arrived as in time frame indicated. Pickup at BestBuy accomplished without fanfare. Set up and initialization a breeze. Immediately loaded software for newly purchased scanning device. Happy with the service from BestBuy and the Apple product.

I can record my music to disc on the iMac now. Only issue is such a short cable. But it's a great, slim piece.

This is a great drive. Many pros, such as being durable, clean, easy access without scratching discs, etc. Easy to use and understand; plug and play. I have not used it for anything other than playing discs; however, I am sure it will work as advertised.
