    Great Mac Accessory

    I recently purchased my first Mac and was disappointed that it didn't have a CD Drive. I admit that I rarely need to use a CD or DVD though, and the SuperDrive is lightweight and compact enough for me to easily store in my desk when not in use.

    I love this product. Anything Apple is never disappointing. I recently purchased a new computer and lap top. Neither one has the ability to read a DVD. New design for all Macs. I love the fact Apple provides a reader. I do like the lightness of my lap top without DVD. Makes it easy to travel. This DVD reader is perfect for old files that were stored on DVDs.

    Although I am truly disappointed that the IMac doesn't have a cd/dvd drive on the computer itself, I am extremely impressed with this. It's small, easy to use and doesn't get in the way of anything. This is a must if you get an iMac guys!!!

    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.

    I was looking to add an external drive to my new Mac Book Pro laptop and decided to add this apple product. It delivered exactly as advertised. Took it out of the box, plugged it into my laptop and the drive was recognized immediately.

    I purchased this CD drive to use with my new 27" iMAC desktop computer and am very happy with it. I've been utilizing it to import some of my favorite CDs into my music library and haven't had any problems with it whatsoever.

    Slimmest USB CD/DVD drive

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    There are many different USB CD/DVD drives available from various companies, but Apple's slot loading Superdrive is by far the slimmest and unlike many others, Apple's Superdrive uses only one USB connection. It works great with all recent Macs laptops and desktops as well as many Windows computers, but if your computer is over 5 years old, you may have some issues.

    Great for burning DVDs to send to family that just can’t figure out social media!! Only reason for the 4 star vs 5 star review is I recently purchased the 27in 5k display and although streaming is great it doesn’t beat 4K BluRay Player. Therefore I wish apple made a Blu-ray or 4K version instead of a DVD version.

    When I got my new Apple computer I knew it didn't have a CD drive in it so a month or two later we bought this drive for it! So easy, just had to plug it into a USB port and it was ready to go! Thanks Apple for making things easy!

    This external drive allows me to download music CDs I already own to my music files. I also can play DVDs I haven’t added to my movie files. It’s very useful for me.

    Bought this for my classroom. So easy to use. Plug, load and play. Seamless integration the my macbookpro. I actually like having it external rather than internal since it makes the macbookpro lighter and smaller. Thanks apple!

    After trying another brand of external CD/DVD R/W drives and being dissatisfied, I purchase the Apple drive and was 100% satisfied with the performance and appearance of this product. It's a true plug and play and a well made drive.

    It's nice that these exist for those who can't let go of CDs. I like that I don't have to tote it around, as I primarily do my CD burning at home. But it's so portable and compact that if I needed to take it with me, it wouldn't be a nuisance.

    Other than having to buy an adapter to connect this to my Mac Pro I have had no problems with this. It’s been very easy to use and gives me the ability to use software that comes in disc only.
