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.

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.

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 still feel I need the option of inputing or burning Optical discs with my computer. Since Apple no longer feels it is a needed item in their products you need to buy and add one on your own. Of course if they did not think people needed it ...they would not sell one.
Anyway the superdrive is plug and play and the software in my Sierra OS IMac is already there so there is nothing to download. The superdrive burns all types of discs other than BlueRay. Will not play them either. if you need an optical drive for your mac this is the way to go.

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.

I was so happy that I was able to purchase this and still see my photos that are on a CD. It is so simple to use, plug into the back and open it up on the finder. Even a Grandma can do it...

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.

While most laptops do not come with cd rom drives anymore, we still use actual cd's and dvd's. This product was very easy to setup and use. Highly recommend for any old school users out there!

This is a gotta have item for me. The only thing is you need the new adapter plug. So you may want to buy more than one adapter plug for USB ports if you use more than one item at a time.
