Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this to download cd's to my new iMac. Also to burn personal playlists to cd's to give to friends. It is a plug and play device. Very easy to use and has worked every time.

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.

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..??

what an amazing gadget! sleek modern and everything you expect from apple! but why on earth do the new $2100 laptops not have cd disc drives to begin with? anyway, we love it and we love apple!

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.

I miss having an internal drive in my laptop, but if I have to use an external one, I want it to be small and clean looking. This one works fine and is very small.

We have some old DVDs with videos and pics that we needed to copy. We are Mac users (3 MacBooks and iMac at home) and needed a drive to take care of this. Works like a charm.

It's an apple product so you know it will be high quality. Perfect companion to any iMac or MacBook Air. Doesn't need an additional power cord as the USB does it all.

The iMac doesn’t have a disc drive so if you want to use a DVD with your Mac it is a must have. I bought the Apple and I am pleased with it.

A great addition to my MAC!I am using this to add music and videos to my Mac along with converting using it in conjunction with a device to convert all vis tapes to dads!!

This is a great little DVD Drive. Just plug into new iMac and it works. No buttons. Just slide in DVD and it will grab it the rest of the way. My Apple wired keyboard had buttons for the DVD SuperDrive.

I bought this because I prefer CDs in my car than using the auxiliary chord. It burns fast. It reads fast. It requires no installation. Just plug it in on the USB slot and you're good to go.

Easy to use. Just plug it into a USB port, insert a cd, and you're good to go. Just wish it was built into the computer rather than not and having to buy this separately (I have an iMac)

This external drive will allow my daughter to use much of the media she had before purchasing her new computer. She is looking forward to using it at college for school and entertainment.

Works great, just what I needed. Functions exactly as described.

I haven't opened mine yet. But I have used it before and i really like using it. I have a macbook pro so I do not really need a mouse but I have it anyway for the day that i want to use it.

I think Apple is to far ahead of time, we're not complely digital yet, so having to purchase an external optical drive wasn't ideal. It's thin, so it packs and travels well in my laptop bag.

I would highly recommend this drive over the "bargains" and spend the extra few bucks on the brand name one. I had a "cheaper" one and honestly it sucked. NOT nearly as quick or dependable!

Good product. Necessary for the IMac if you want to watch DVDs or have software on a CD. Fast and easy to use. Would recommend for anyone that uses an IMac on a regular basis.

I purchased a new Mac Book and needed an external CD drive (even though its getting less and less necessary to have such a thing). The item was inexpensive and works great.
