Customer Ratings & Reviews

The item is easy to use and plays CDs without problems whether studio recorded or not.

Got my wife a Mac Mini M2 to replace her old and failing 27" iMac and needed to have this for playing DVDs and burning photos and data to CD/DVD. One issue we have is that it has to be directly connected to the Mac Mini. Even with a powered hub we were told it needed power. An expansion dock is probably in our future to add more connectivity and storage options.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I bought this so I could transfer from my windows pc to a macbook pro. I works great and is fast and reliable. I wouldn't recommend any other product

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!

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.

This was purchased along with a new iMac. Not sure how much use it will get, but it is handy to have. If you have lots of USB peripherals, you can keep it in a drawer until you need it, although it might not recognize that a disc was inserted unless it is connected directly to the computer, not through a hub.

Works great with our iMac and Macbook! I thought it would work with our other laptop, which has Windows, but it doesn't. From what I understand you can download a program onto your windows laptop/pc which will allow you to use this drive on it, but I've yet to search for and download that program.

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.

Great gift for wife and new iMac computer. Was concerned with the new iMac not having built in DVD drive, but the super drive solved the concern. Excellent addition and does not take up any space.

From Apple, perfect compliment to the iMac. Too bad the new iMac do not come with a built-in disc drive.

I haven't had the need to use the drive extensively. Installing it was super simple. I did copy some files and pictures to a dvd. Worked well. That's about all I can say at this time.

Love it, now I can see pictures from old dvd, even I can down loud conferences and much more, love it.....

Great product. Works perfectly with MacBook Pro. I would recommend it.

Very easy to use. No hiccups. Apple makes a great product. Disappointed it was not made in tge U.S. Even with solid state drives would have preferred to have a built in DVD/CD player
