    I still wish the Apple computers had the built in disc drive, but I haven't had any troubles with the drive. It works just as you expect it would. Just plug it in and it's operational.

    I use the Superdrive with my 27" iMac desktop. It was easy to attach and works great playing DVDs and copying my CDs to my Apple music file and iPhone. I haven't tried to burn any discs with it.

    Very lightweight, sleek and easy to use. Needed it to load a program via cd onto a MacBook. No set up, just plugged it into the Mac and loaded the cd into it.

    This was the perfect addition to my MacBook Air.. I don't always need a cd drive but it comes in handy.. I enjoy that it was ready to go straight out of the box. Plugged in and inserted the cd and was on my way!

    From Apple, perfect compliment to the iMac. Too bad the new iMac do not come with a built-in disc drive.

    I bought this drive for my new macbook when it didn't come with one. Although I don't need it very often, it uploads or plays CD's whenever I need it too and it's small enough to fit in my computer bag.

    Ok, that may be a bit much to describe a CD burner. But as is typical with apple products, this is a sleek, nice looking unit. Works perfectly alongside my MacBook Pro. Virtually silent and very quick.

    Since the laptop we purchased didn't have a built in DVD player, an external one was necessary. Went with one sales person recommended. Happy with purchase, super easy to use!

    A necessity for those afraid that the "clouds" will one day mysteriously vanish or have invested a gazillion dollars in dvds. At least it can be shared by multiple users and works beautifully.

    It's a quick and easy addition to my iMac. Step 1: take out of box. Step 2: plug in to USB. Done! Works simply, easily, neatly. Streamlined look like all the Apple products. Does not support the blu-ray format.

    I strongly recommend this product. If you need to use CDs and DVDs to install programs, listen to music, play games, etc., you will need this device, as the MacBook Pro does not come with a built-in CD/DVD drive.

    Unfortunately, modern Macbooks don't have an internal CD/DVD drive but this works like a charm. This drive is very user friendly with my MacBook pro.

    Much more expensive than alternative drives but wanted to stay with Apple on a new Imac purchase...works..no problems...would buy alternative drive from other sources the next time.

    This dvd drive works as it should. I like that it is powered from a single usb port, as opposed to most others that require 2 usb connections. It would be nicer if it included blu-ray format. I think it is overpriced at $80, but the finish and quality is top notch. I bought it so it would match my 2013 MacBook Air and it does just that

    I purchased my MacBook Air this past summer, and didn't expect to need a DVD-Rom for my college courses as I'm studying sign language...low and behold, needed on this semester. This has worked wonderfully.

    I wanted to get the MacBook Air because I rarely use a CD-ROM anymore so the Air made sense. When I do want to use my MacBook Air as a DVD player or play a CD-ROM, I like I can easily plug it in and use it.
