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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
