    Bought some DVD’s and needed something to watch them on. This helped me watch them on my iMac. Easy setup and got to watch my dvd the same day.

    Apple - SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive - Silver. This is great to have because Apple doesn't have a drive on the MacBook.

    I was a little surprised that a laptop comes without a CD drive, but I see why they chose to go external. The macbook this goes with uses the space for better things. Worked right out of the box with no issue.

    Best tv I've ever purchased. Was on a budget and was very surprised at such high quality, for the price. Great picture. Easy hookup. Ok sound (definitely going to buy soundbar). And as I said, great price.

    Not a bad idea for CD users like me. Works great! No need to take entire computer in if cd drive ever goes down. Affordable to replace!

    This device is just what I needed because I have a MacAir without a CD port, but the only problem is obviously this device is separate from the computer. It is hard to use when you are mobile, but that's the problem you run into when you do not get a computer with the disc port built in. It functions as it is supposed to however.

    I looked at a lot of CD writers before selecting this one. At first I thought "any CD writer will work", but the more I read, the more I was convinced that I really wanted and needed a quality device. If you have an older computer with a built-in superdrive, you will NOT be able to install this. Now that computers are made without CD writers, this was a commodity I cannot live without. I am really glad that I stuck with an Apple on this; they are expensive, but well made, and this drive has done everything that I want it to do. Highly recommended.

    ahhh, can't believe I waited so long to go for a Mac, You pay more up front, but so much less in time, frustration and repairs than for the normal PC. Feels great to sync all of my devices............

    As with all apple products everything works seamlessly as soon as it’s plugged in. For it being 2018 they should have a 4K/Blu-ray burner but still overall a great easy to use product

    The drive was very easy to use. It displayed the content of the CDs, so I knew what to keep and what to toss.

    Glad to buy this to be honest although I think it is no longer necessary I still need and want it! I have a lot of CDS. :-D The only thing is that the cord (usb/wire) is built in. Afraid of getting the usb material tear. Once the wire breaks it's useless forever. I Wonder, will that ever get fixed though?

    Just plug the drive in and my mac recognizes it. Makes it easy to add a bootcamp os without dealing with setting up a flash drive for booting capability. Must have for any mbp that does not have a drive.
