Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased the MacBook Pro and needed a drive to go with it. This is the Apple OEM Drive and it is fantastic. Just what I needed. Highly Reccomended.

Unpacked and began using right away. No problems at all either ripping CDs, or installing tax software. One of the few items manufactured by or for Apple that actually works without problems.

Another great Apple product, beautiful apple design, matches my Apple laptop perfect. I will be surprised if it doesn't have the same dependability and reliability as all my previous Apple products have had.

It was very easy to use and install. It works really great with my Mac Pro laptop. Very light weight not bulky.

Very reliable and easy to connect. Apple product is one of a kind. No problems in viewing any cd’s or listening to music.

This item seems to be OK but unfortunately the classes that were promised by Best Buy to help me set up the computer are not available so I am operating it on my own – not a great way to sell something. Went to class today and was told it was cancelled and only iPad would be given not anymore for the laptop!

When I bought my Mac I was pretty bummed to see that it did not include a DVD drive. It was a bummer to have to spend more money to get one but it is very easy to use and no issues at all.

I purchased this Apple external superdrive so that I could put my Cd's and Dvd's on my Mac. It was very helpful and easy to use. The price was a bit higher than other name brands but it is Apple. It also comes with the USB cable for easy transferring.

Purchased the SuperDrive to accompany my Mac mini. It works great and looks great. No problems at all. There is a premium for the Apple brand, but I am at a point now where I just want things to work. =)

Good solution for bad superdrive. The iMac desktop native built-in Optiarc DVD player stopped recognizing DVDs and CDs.. This external drive was a quicker (but not cheaper) fix than a trip to the Apple Store to R&R the Superdrive. Main problem is that the USB cable takes up another USB port! So I have to alternate swapping the external hard drive for other peripherals, such as a usb-charger, an external usb-hard drive, a time machine, a usb-flash drive, usb-audio output, usb-midi adapter, usb-card reader, etc.. I am told there is software for watching Blu Ray DVDs on an iMac..??

Total plug and play. Some reviewers had trouble ejecting a disc. It was straightforward and not an issue at all. Best Buy's price and free shipping was less expensive than the Apple store

Since iMac doesn't have a disc drive, this is a definite must have. Very easy to operate and didn't have to install any kind of program being that it is an Apple product. No hassle equals no headache!

It's plug and play and great quality. Another superb Apple product.

I needed another external drive because my computer drive stopped working. It's easy to just plug into an Apple computer and easy installation!

Sometimes you just need to have a disc drive and this works great. Easy to take from one location to another.

It works great for me. I have seen a lot of bad reviews about this Superdrive, that's because you must use USBC-to USB cord to make the Superdrive work probably.

My older laptops had internal drives. Having this external is no issue as I get most of my content online. The thickness saved is worth the extra couple of steps to hook up and play a CD/DVD

This drive works great, but I had to pull out the help book in order to figure out how to set it up. At first when I plugged it in I couldn't get it to show up on the computer. You have to go into a specific drive in order to see it and then in order to eject the disk you also have to find the eject button on the computer rather than the drive having an easy button. I also thought at first it didn't have power because you have to force the disk in almost all the way before the power kicks on and pulls the disk in the rest of the way.

Apple - SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive - Silver is great product it has allowed me to put software and watch movie on my apple computer.

Awesome product for when you still need to use some DVD or CDs... Unit is slim and sleek and runs off of USBpower so no need for a power supply.
