    Use this drive all the time with my Mac computer. I like the fact that I can use the Qapple keyboard to eject CDs. Works great with Apple.

    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.

    I know it seems like a no brainer that you should buy a product and it does what it should, and I've come to expect that from Apple products, but this little disc player is easy to use, compact, and durable - It's great!

    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 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.

    My MacBook Pro does not have a disk drive so I bought this to use. As an external disk drive it works just as fast as any disc drive I’ve ever used. Quality Burns and does not heat. I recommend

    This is just what i needed to install all my old files into my new iMAC. It did not come with a disk drive. It also plays my CD's and DVD's. Nothing to load for it to work. Just plug into USB and it starts working.

    This was a lifesaver, I needed it during tax season to correct a prior year return and the program was on a disc. I picked this up at best buy, plugged it in and I was back in business. Works great!

    The internal drive on my older iMac stopped working, and there is no space for an internal drive on the new and much thinner iMacs, so this external drive is now working great on both!

    Well like the title suggests this product works as advertised. I have had mine going on 5 months, since the MackBook pro I purchased for this last semester didn't come with a disc drive I purchased the apple SuperDrive. I haven't had any issues with it expcept I would have liked to see Apple support blue ray which this product does not.

    A solid and must-have accessory for your Mac

    This accessory is a must have if you have a Mac. With more and more computers coming without CD/DVD ROM drives these days, it's surprising how often you need one to install software or use them for entertainment. The drive is light, compact, unobtrusive and easy to use. Definitely worth paying the extra money to get one.
