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 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 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.

I needed a drive for my new iMac and this fit the bill. Typical great Apple quality and very simple to use. Plugs in to the USB port on the back of the computer.

I bought a Mac mini and this superdrive so I could hook it up to my big screen tv so I could watch movies with the family at night and check emails and work stuff during the day... Works perfect!

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.

Another great Apple device that just works like it is supposed to. It's the simple things I like, and this drive is just that, simple to add, (it's plug and play) and it's simple to use.

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.

It gives you the ability to convert and use a lot of your material with your Mac. Its light, compact, easy to hook up and works great.

With typical Apple quality this drive works great and is a necessity since none of the iMac’s or Macbook’s come with optical drives. It is a bit misleading to call it a “SuperDrive” when it lacks blue ray compatability. Maybe just “CDDrive” would be more appropriate. But it works well, it’s small and it gets the job done reading and writing cd’s.

A 'super' Superdrive!

I just started using the Superdrive that I recently bought to use with my 2020 27" iMac. My previous iMac (21" late 2009 model) had a built-in disc drive that never failed me over the years. When technology advances forced me to replace my old iMac (which no longer include a built-in disc drive, I added the Superdrive so that I could enjoy my collection of many cd's and dvd's.
The Superdrive is working as promised, thus far. It's quick and silent, and fits neatly under the base of my monitor. I look forward to many good times looking at movies and listening to cd's. I recommend this product to Apple iMac users.

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!

Does what it needs to do

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.

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.

This slim DVD/CD RW drive works as expected. It is about 1/4 the size of the one it replaced. I have many photos saved to disc and this drive keeps them alive!
