    Satisfied with this super drive. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. And looks great on my iMac stand. Have used about 10 times since purchase with no issues.

    I use this with my Mac Mini and it looks like really nice. I could see it next to any Mac that doesn't have a built in disc drive

    Added CD/DVD capability to an new Apple laptop my wife bought. Newer computers delete CD/DVD from units to reduce size, weight and power consumption. Newer storage is cloud, SD or thumb drive. However, still need to access legacy software on CD and movies on DVD. This fills the bill.

    I use this with my iMac 27" and I love it. It works so well with all my apple products and it's super fast. I use it mostly to burn photos to cds for clients (photography business).

    Since MacBooks don't have a CD drive built in, this is a necessity for my daughter's college classes. Works just as advertised. Definitely worth buying genuine Apple product.

    Good quality unit that worked instantly with my MacBook Pro. I used it to transfer my CD's to iTunes and it was quick and efficient. My only disappointment was the design lacks a built-in cable tidy for storage so the cable is always dangling about.

    Optical Discs = Secure Storage

    This is a really nice drive and works seamlessly with Mac OS X, the only regrettable consideration is its only DVD-R5 and/or DVD-R DL media which essentially limits it to 8.5GB which isn't that bad, but there is no credible reason they haven't upgraded it to a Blu-ray recorder with XL capability which would yield 100+GB per disc and free consumers from the risk of getting their valuable personal and family records, photos and other private data lost, hacked or stolen by depending on the Cloud to protect all our stuff! Cloud storage sites and RAID Drives are Hackers # 1 Targets! Speaking of which: remember Target, Home Depot, IRS, etc?

    Handy drive, works easily doesn't have to be ejected when done using. Greatly appreciate the weight difference in the new Mac Book Pro without having to have the drive built in.

    Sometimes you just need to have a disc drive and this works great. Easy to take from one location to another.

    I need to burn DVDs so this is a great choice. Because it is Apple brand it is easy to update the firmware. On many 3rd party drives you must update on a PC. Good luck with that

    If you need to read a cd/dvd in any new Mac, this is an essential accessory. The Apple cd/dvd just works natively without any new software installed.
