I purchased a new MacBook a few months ago not fully realizing how much I'd miss the disk reader. This is perfect to remedy that oversight. It is super easy to use- plug in and go. Works perfectly.

This device works great! I have a Retina iMac and a Mac Air Notebook. Perfect accessory for Apple devices with no built in CD/DVD Drive.
The only thing I wished this device could do is play/burn Blu Ray Disks.

I bought two pop-out drives of lesser brands, but caved and got this one. I don't use an optical drive often. When I do, I want it to work.

I got this to transfer my music CDs to my iTunes. My Best Buy associate that assisted me was extremely well informed! Things are looking good as to the downloading of the cds. No complaints thus far.

There are simpler ones and more complex ones but overall this is okay for doing its job and not much more. Quite costly compared to others but the Apple experience is not lacking with the nice feeling aluminum housing! Works great for my MacBook Pro 2019.

I really wish Apple wouldn't have changed to make you purchase cd/DVD drive instead of having them already installed into computer systems!! The drive itself works great with no problems or issues!!

The Apple cd/dvd drive is do simple to connect and use. As soon as you connect it your Apple computer will recognize the hardware and you're done. I chose this model as it would work seamlessly with my Apple mini Mac.

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

We bought this to replace an old Pioneer external dvd drive that wouldn't work on our new iMac. This drive works well and matches the new iMac we bought earlier this year. Apple products are great!!

The Apple support drive is wonderful! I was able to download the CD in order to file my income tax. It was so easy and I would highly recommend it. I use it with my new MacBook Air.

This is a great purchase if you buy a laptop that doesn't have a disc drive and it works well. Your computer is lighter and will be easy to carry wherever.

Buying a Macbook pro without an internal drive, like my last Macbook pro, wasn't a problem with this great accessory. With several programs on C.D. and with several DVD's this was an important addition.

If you are old school or just have some old dvds you need read and an Apple product, this is the external reader for you- combined with the cord it works very well and was a great buy

Ever since Apple stopped putting media drives in their MacBooks this is the only real option, but it is a good one. Great product like most everything with the Apple logo. Easy to use and carry (if needed).
