Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a pretty straight forward device. No switches or buttons; just slide a disk in and off you go. At $80 there are less expensive units available, however, none as sleek and portable as this unit. The "Apple" aluminum finish looks awesome as all Apple products do. The unit runs off of USB power connected to your computer, so you need not carry an external power supply around if you are using this as a portable. Just slide it into your laptop case and off you go. Less wire, less mess. The only downside I can think of is it requires higher voltage than is typically supplied through USB ports. Therefore, this unit must be connected directly to your Laptop for proper voltage supply. It will not run on an external USB hub. So, I recommend a USB extension cable Type A male-Type A female to give you extra cable length in case you desire or need to place the Superdrive on the opposite side of your desk. The built in cable is only around 14" long. Aside from these two minor issues, this is a fantastic drive.

The drive is small and compact and built out of aluminum. It does a good job of working as an optical drive for the times when I need an optical drive. If you need a optical drive for your Mac this one works well.

Works like any other DVD/CD reader/burner. I had to get an Apple USB cable though to connect it to the USB C port. The drive didn’t work with a Hyperdrive 9 port USB-C Hub.

If you need to see pictures on a cd or dvd, or load software or something else from those formats, this is worth having to plug into a newer Mac that has no cd or dvd drive. Well worth having.

Since I didn’t have one built in to my laptop, this has helped me when I needed to use cd for my work and when I just want to enjoy a movie!

i bought this for my brother and i think i love it more than him. its super fast..it downloads faster than my macbook pro..i love the drive and i would buy another one and would recommend this product if you have a mac without a drive..

The drive plugs in very easily and has a secure connection. There were no problems getting the computer to recognize this peripheral. If you have an Apple laptop you are going to need this peripheral eventually.

Great device to pair along side my Mac Studio. It helps for when I need music and more.

This device has been absolutely great. It’s so nice that it is portable so I can use it at work and at home. I burned a DVD for my grandmother’s wake and funeral last week and it turned out perfectly.

As with all Apple products this too is truly plug and play. I purchased for use with my MacBook Air. The Air has no optical drive and this is the only option to add one I know of. Plugged it in and it worked as I expected.

This product makes importing optically stored files accessible on the MacBook Pro since it has no built in capability. The read/write speeds are sufficiently fast and the plug and play (compatibility) is a real plus.

Works great, easy to use. I needed an Apple USB-c to USB adaptor to work, since my computer doesn't have a USB plug. I had another brand adaptor, but it didn't work, had to be the apple brand. The apple brand adaptor is around $20, not a big deal, but just another small little accessory to misplace.

Great little portable super drive easy to eject disc

Bought external cd/dvd drive for Apple computer to replace a broken drive on one laptop and as an external drive for second laptop. At purchase was helped by Best Buy staff and am happy with the product.

The DVD drive is compact and small but it needs an eject button on it. I would have preferred it to be part of the actual Mac desk top. It should have been part of the package. I was told that it was when I purchased the Mac.

Since my MacBook does not have a disc drive it only made sense that I purchased this. Although I would’ve liked for this to be built into my laptop, it works great and I have no complaints.

Being an Apple fan I decided to go with this when I needed an external drive. It's a plug and play device and works well with my MacBook Air. Non Apple devices may work as well at lower cost, but so far this has worked well.

This drive is PERFECT! PLUG AND GO!!! I have it sitting at my desl and it works wonders!

Purchased to use with a MacBook Pro. Plug and play install. Everything so easy as you would expect with an Apple product.

I bought this for my iMac and was expected to have to go through an entire install process but I was pleasantly surprised. All you do is plug it into the USB drive on the back of the computer and it instantly works.
