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.

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!

My iMac Pro Air doesn’t have a disc drive and neither does the iMac mini so this is perfect for being able to switch back and forth

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.

This was so easy to use, you basically just plug it in and it starts working. As with all Apple products, there aren't really instructions included, but I didn't really need any. Works well

When we got the MacBook we got this with it for possibly downloading stuff or watching movies. We haven't used it very much yet, but watching movies with it is great. No problems so far.

I purchased a generic CD drive and could not get it to function due to the need of 2 USB ports for power. Purchased this Apple products and it works perfectly! It's worth the extra dollars!

This is a true plug and play item. In addition to Apple products I was able to read a PC MS Office disk with no problem. Powered through a single USB cord. Buy!

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.

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.

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 bought the Superdrive when I purchased the MacBook Pro recently. I didn't think I would like having them separate, but its not a problem. I've only used it a couple of times and it was very easy to use

I was disappointed that my iMac 27" came without a DVD Writer. But after discussing with the Best Buy sales person, I purchased this writer. Easy to use and burns CD/DVD well

MacBook Pro with no CD drive. CDs are last century but are products offered that way, no alternative. This purchase required for their functional use with Mac, and this external drive the only selection with Apple/Mac branding. Uncertain 3rd party-equipment interoperability so 'rode with the brand' so to speak.

I wasn't sure I would like not having the drive built into the laptop but have decided I do. It's easy to plug and do what I need to do then unplug. It makes the laptop lighter so much easier to travel with.

I had no trouble setting this up. And best of all, unlike previous hard drive back ups I have used, once I try to read it on my computer it is easy and you do not have to be a computer geek to use it.
