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.

Works great with my Apple Air when I need to have a physical backup of photos, videos or back up anything else.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is nice to not have a CD : DVD drive in the system. To have an external system that you can connect and use is very good business plan. Some days you need it others you do not. It can be broken down to fit in my laptop travel bag.

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!

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!

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.

The new desktops don’t have DVD/CD drives any more and this is the simplest way to load all those old CD’s. Great unit- no software, no apps, just plug and use.
