needs adaptor for MacBook Pro

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.

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.

This is the perfect companion for any MacBook or iMac. works flawlessly and with the expected polish of Apple design, highly recommend this over any crummy aftermarket CD drive. Unfortunately, still not a BLU-RAY player.

Purchased this for my Mac computer as it is not equipped with it's own drive. Plug and play. No real experience needed. Purchased to transfer music from my computer to CD. Just what I needed an not a bad deal at that.

We are not to the point of all flash or online media ye, so unfortunately you still need a DVD drive. It would be nice if they would just include the external drive since your paying almost $3000 for a laptop, but not bad for an extra $80.

This is a fast dvd writer/reader for the apple universe. It's not terribly over-priced, and it works without any drama. Good add-on to a mac mini.

My husband has one of these and we love it. I bought one for my laptop so that when I travel, I don't have to take his in case he needs to use his. I just wish the cord was a little longer (as usual with Apple).

I don't like that I can't get a built in cd/DVD drive anymore. This external drive is a great unit. Have to get a separate carrying case tho as I travel with dvds. At least I can use it on multiple computers.

I love this! I still wish it were included in the MacBook Air for the price of both items, however the ability to have such a thin laptop is awesome. Super easy to install. Works as indicated. Really happy w/my purchase!

I bought this drive to use with my iMac. It has been wonderful, user friendly and durable. I was torn between this and a "non-Mac" product based on other reviews I read, but I am ready happy I went with this one.

The superdrive was easy to install; it didn't require any startup. It works fine and will be useful for when I need to use a disk instead of a download.

Having this dvd player is a must with a mac - no dvd drive built in. It works great, nice and compact. Good quality product. I got rid of my other DVD player that was attached to the TV and use this exclusively for all of my DVD needs.

Just what I needed to replace a 6yr old MacBook 4 days before school started. Much easier than dealing with crowd at Apple Store and cheaper, after getting best buy points.

It has the solid feel you expect from an Apple product. Works quite well, although the latest Mac OS has some twerkish behavior recognizing the drive (needed to restart with the drive plugged in, unusual for a 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.

The Apple SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer Dvd±rw/CD-RW Drive has been a great choice for use with my MacBook Pro. It performs extremely well, is flexibile for various uses, and its small size makes it easily portable.
