    I did need to update the software on my older model MacBrook Pro and then install is sleek and lightweight CD and DVD reader and wrighter to my Apple. So far, so good. Best Buy has low prices and the salespeople were knowledgeable and helpful.

    This drive works 1000x better than the one I purchased from amazon. The amazon one was just a few bucks cheaper and it scratched my cds and caused my MacBook to freeze in iTunes.

    I purchased this to replace an asus burner I had, that required two USB ports. This works well for those needing to read or burn physical media on MacBook Pros, airs, Mac minis, or iMacs without requiring multiple USB ports or powered hubs.

    THIS IS A NECESSARY PRODUCT IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED A RECENT MACBOOK WITHOUT A BUILT IN DVD. MOST SOFTWARE CAN BE DOWNLOADED, HOWEVER, FOR THE INSTANCE WHERE A DOWNLOAD IS UNAVAILABLE, HAVING THIS APPLE SUPERDRIVE WILL DO THE TRICK.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    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 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.

    It works like they say it's supposed to. I use it to record music CD's onto my MacBook computer. Never had a lot of luck with external DVD/CD drives. My CD's always get stuck in them. But this one's working good.

    It’s by Apple. Therefore, it is overpriced. But since it is by Apple, it works perfectly. Gets the job done.

    Now that both desktops and laptops do not include disk players, the Apple Super Drive is a needed addition. It works great and does Apple's usual top-notch job. Recommended to any user who needs this capacity.

    After getting my new Mac Book Pro, I had to purchase a separate drive. I read the reviews and they weren't rated as high as I like to see but so far, this drive has not been any problem. Very pleased with the purchase!
