Customer Ratings & Reviews

I originally bought the LG version trying to save a few bucks. I plugged it in and nothing happened. I ended up returning it and got the Apple,it was plug and play and I haven't looked back!!

I have dvd and music and I purchased the Apple - SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive at your location and I love the item.

Needed the superdrive because new iMac and other computers no longer come with internal DVD/CD rw drives. Inexpensive and a great drive. Fills the bill - just wish it was built in . . .

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 works flawlessly with my Macbook Pro Retina. Probably cheaper brands that works just as good but I like Apple products so....

Purchased this drive for my mother-in-law's new iMac. She wanted the option of an optical drive for watching movies, burning picture discs etc. The drive installed flawlessly, operates as expected, and matches the iMac quite nicely. The only downside that I had is that Apple doesn't have any Blu-Ray drives, but I believe that has to do with licensing issues. As this is the only device that had to be physically plugged into her iMac, the external form factor doesn't create any issues with cable clutter, as it's only a single USB cable.

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

For a secondary product that has to be hooked up it works well. I do wish this drive was just included in the hardware of a Mac

I went ahead and bought this although everything is moving to the cloud. I still have DVD's and CD's that I need to access from time to time. This drive is fast and works great.

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

I rarely use disks, but when I need to, or want to watch a nonstreaming movie on my laptop, this is a terrific way to accomplish those goals without making my MacBook Air bulky 24/7.

The external drive works very well -- we travel by train and like to watch movies I could not watch movies on my Mac ProNotebook because it does not have a DVD -- so this is perfect.

Just purchased a new iMac -- which did not have the cd/dvd slot on the side. The Apple Superdrive works excellently and the silver tone matches the iMac stand.

Works seamlessly with my MacBook so I can watch movies and import music as needed. I think I actually prefer a separate disc drive.

My MacBook Air didn't have a built in SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer Dvd±rw/CD-RW Drive and I wanted one to be able to burn CD's and be able to view CD's that I have.

I bought this for as a gift for a family member that needed an external CD drive for her apple laptop. She absolutely loves it! Makes school work so much easier.

The new macs don't come with cd drives, so you need an external. This one is made by apple and well worth the extra couple of dollars for the original.

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

I love it. I live in a rural area and don't have internet some places that I travel to. This has made it perfect for watching movies, etc. I really like the product.

Does exactly what I need it to do and it's small! I don't particularly like that you have to buy a drive for the Mac but oh well! I love Apple everything so I'll get over it.
