Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very Sleek and sturdy. Works out the box as expected. Perfect for trips or flights when you need to play a DVD. Also great from CD/DVD rips/transfers for archiving.

I initially bought an LG drive, but returned it for this one when this model went on sale. This drive just worked better than the LG.

If you own a Mac computer system, this external disc drive is a must have. It’s very easy to install (plug in and play). The quality is what you’d expect from Apple.

Right out of the box after the installation was burning music and watching DVD's. Love that this an external unit that I can just unplug and put away if I don't want my desk cluttered.

I got this drive because Apple killed the DVD in my new iMac. I use it sparingly to purn DVDs for work and to copy files off DVDs. It works great and I've had no problems

It is an Apple Super Drive. It works as expected. My son has burned quite a few CDs and a couple of DVDs with it and had no problems. But then again, I didn't expect any problems.

This is my 2nd one. Purchased one a few years ago for my IMAC & just purchased a MacBook Pro so purchased one for that!

With our iMac, this was necessary due to transfer of music from our PC to now the iMac. Works well and stores easily under computer screen.

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

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 . . .

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!!

It was very easy to use and install. It works really great with my Mac Pro laptop. Very light weight not bulky.

Assures me that I will always have those important documents secure. One less thing to worry about and feel secure. Easy to use.

I bought this for a CD to play on my Mac book. It was easy to use and perfect for CDs and DVDs.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
