Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Apple external drive is a must for MacAir users. There are some things not available by download and this solves that issue. It is light, easy for travel and use, and most of all it's a life saver.

I was super impressed at how well this works with my Mac. Super easy to install and doesn’t need a supplemental power cord.

Anything Apple makes is a great design. I recently sold my iMac and now only have my MacBook with no CD/DVD drive. This is the perfect accessory. I still get DVDs and Books on CD from the library.

This device works great and since many of my clients are STILL bringing me old DVDs to rip the content from, it definitely comes in useful. However, I really wish it could do Blu Ray as well. Doesn't make sense in this day and age that apple doesn't have that option. Anyway, this device looks good and works as advertised!

works much better then my original LG, it does sound like something breaking on the inside but that is normal

I bought this so I could download all my cd’s into my MacBook. It synced up as soon as I plugged it in and now I have my music all in one place and 4 huge totes of coasters/cd’s. Haha

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.

I highly recommend purchasing this product when buying a Mac. I didn't realize until I got my computer how that I didn't have a drive built in so I could play DVDs or CDs, buying this fixed that issue. Works great!

Great product I couldn’t begin the explain how easy this adapter is to use. Simple plug and play product is where’s is at.

The optic drives were the first things to go out on my old IMac and MacBook Pro. The use of an external SuperDrive is perfect for a multi- apple owner. Love it so far!

I needed an easy to use DVD add-on for my iMac and this turned out to be just the right unit. It was Plug-n-Play with no connection issues. It could have a slightly longer interface cable but it works for most applications.

Bought this as an add on to be able to burn my family videos that i have created while on trips! Works perfectly with my macbook air!

Seems fine so far. I liked it so much I ordered a second one. I did have a problem with using on the Mac Mini because I did not know the secret phrase hidden in the operating system. I googled the problem and got directed to the hidden phrase (something about all volumes). After that we got along tickety boo.

This Super Drive 8x External USB Double Layer DVDÂ+/-RW/CD-RW Drive - Silver is a high quality useful Best Buy product for Apple customers. It's thin and simple, a nice combination for everyday use, anywhere I go.

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.

The disc drive worked as expected. Plugged it in and it was ready to go. I would have given it 5 stars except it is somewhat pricey. There are less costly non-Apple disc drives available. Due to concerns with compatibility, I payed a little more for this Apple drive.

Was easy to set up. I had to get a lightening adapter as my connector (non-apple) did not work. Showed videos and pictures to my grandkids

I went to Best Buy knowing what I wanted. I walked to the correct aisle picked up item and walked to register. I paid for item and went home Item works great as do the majority of Apple products.

I read the reviews and many of them said it didn't work with the new MacBooks, so I was tilted about buying it... I decided to give it a try and go to buy it, but I took my MacBook Pro 15" 2018 with me to the store, a CD and a DVD movie to test the Super Drive there immediately after purchasing it ( and save the inconvenience of having to go back to return it to the store if I had issues). The Apple rep at Best Buy plug the drive in, answer the few questions for the setup (European DVD format is different to US and the SuperDrive is a global product), we put the DVD into the drive and my Mac immediately recognized the device and went through the motions to play the movie.

I love that this drive is easy to use; just plug it in, insert a cd and your mac does the rest. I gave it four stars because the usb cord it very short. Almost to short to allow the drive to rest in the empty space near the trackpad. Another small con, it doesn't come with an apple logo or an apple sticker... I said SMALL.
