Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

Good addition to the laptop. Need this to view dvd submissions.

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 needed an external hard drive. Although a bit more expensive than others that would work with an i-MAC, going with an OEM accessory is always the way to go.

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.

Apple external disc drive so you can make musical cd’s. I wish Mac still put these drives in their computers.

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!

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

Best quality external CD player and burner I have ever heard. The product is so solid in it quickness to load CDs up or burn a CD out, it's sleek and quick good build.

A Christmas gift for my daughter in college for use with her Mac Pro. She loves it and reports it's just want she wanted. Works just as designed, as do all Apple products we own.

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

I was trying to burn video DVDs of some home movies with an external no-named DVD burner and I kept getting errors when I tried to play the dics. I got so annoyed that that I went to the store and picked up a genuine Apple DVD burner. It was more than I wanted to spend but it flawlessly burned my home movies and the discs played on all my DVD players (stand alone, xBox, compact portable). Sometimes it just pays to pay the extra for the Apple logo!

My 15 inch MacBook Pro with retina display didn't come with an internal cd/dvd. Therefore what other better product then Apples very own external drive. Very easy to use. Just plug and play.

Still need to deal with physical copies of media in today’s world. This is a cheap portable, and good alternative rather than clogging up space on new desktops/laptops.

I purchased a MacBookPro and had some software I wanted to put on my computer for which I needed the SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive - Silver.

We needed a drive for our daughter to download info for college. This product was perfect and she can use it for other downloads as well!

I recently bought the Macbook Air, which does not have a dvd player, so I bought an external one. It's definitely nicer to have a player in the computer already, instead of having to connect one with a usb cord. The player does the job and it is not difficult to use. I definitely recommend it for the Macbook Air.
