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

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.

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.

The idea of this unit is phenomenal; however, with my MacBook Air 2020 model not having any optical drives and only two thunder ports and the reality of discs becoming obsolete, you will spring for this unit but never use it. Unfortunately its price point is pretty high for a component that will just accumulate dust. It's Apple made, so it'll make sense for you to buy, just because. Used it to test it out when I first purchased and haven't used it since. I guess I'm ready though if out of nostalgia someone needs me to burn them a mixed CD....

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.

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.....

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

I was not aware that you would need a power supplying usb converter to use this, I’ve always had good luck with plug and play but this one plugged and didn’t play. Got a power supplying usb and it works great.

good product...has to have direct plug adapter to computer due to the power needed

Works as expected. It’s a nice option to keep the Laptop from being so bulky, since it not needed all the time.

We own pretty much all Apple products and when I purchased my iMac I obviously needed to get a drive as well. This one by Apple is great and we would recommend to anyone

This external hard drive is a must for users who don't have a cd drive with their current MacBook. It's portable, lightweight and comes in handy when you need to use the cd rom.

This is my second Apple Super-Drive, as I wanted one for home and one to take with me. It is an excellent prioduct, made and engineered to work with the Apple MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops. This drive costs a little more than some of the other portable drives out there, but it is well built with a solid aluminum case. Since it is engineered to work with Apple products then it is simply a "plug and play" unit with no software or updates needed. I would highly recommend this unit.

I purchased this drive for an apple laptop that doesn't have an internal disk drive. It was simple to plug and play and I caught it on sell….So great purchase. I have only used it to download a cd rom, although it has the capability to do more.

does exactly what it says on the tin, fits in with all the other apple stuff

This was kind of an impulse buy. I didn't do any research on it before I bought it, but I am very happy with it. I haven't tried DVDs on it yet, but CDs work great with it!

Perfect if your still into your cds, works flawlessly with my Mac, very simple to use.

It is an external drive and does exactly what it is supposed to do, without the need of additional software. There are cheaper third party options, but this thing is tiny and looks good.

I would highly recommend the Apple SuperDrive 8X External USB DVD/CD/RW drive. This gives you an additional drive for downloading or backing up on your Apple computer.
