    Received excellent help from both your Best Buy Salesman and your Best Buy check out Lady (who always does a great job for us, Mr. & Mrs. Riley) Important!! See below Geek Squad Comments: However, Your Geek Squad Service Dept. continues to do a very poor job for us. Also, many of our friends and many other G. S., customers, that we have met say, the Geek Squad does a very poor job. We do not have time to give you details but are willing to do so if you contact us any time within the next three ( 3 ) days.

    This was a great purchase for my Mac since they do not come with disk drives. Haven't had any problems with it. Apple has never let me down when it comes to their products.

    This is a good product. The only problem I had with it was that you can only eject a movie via laptop. There is no button on the device. We had trouble ejecting on the laptop once & couldn't get the movie out. Otherwise, depending on your laptop, it's easy to use.

    This is a high end drive. I don’t use it every day. But when I need it I need it and it’s been a work horse so far.

    Unfortunately Apple doesn't include an optical drive on the new iMacs, but for a few more bucks this sleek external USB double layer drive keeps you in business.

    This external device is nice and can be removed and stored away from the computer when not in use but is nice looking and okay to leave hooked up to the computer all the time.

    Due to the fact Apple is no longer making computers with CD drives, this is a great add on for their computers. It plugs into the USB port and you are good to go.

    The portable, external DVD player/burner requires no set up, plays DVDs with ease, and is a solid made device. It provides good value for the money spent. Happy I made the purchase.

    As sleek and simple as all Apple products, with one minor drawback: eject function only available on-screen (no physical eject button) which is not that intuitive; otherwise does its job

    If you spend the bucks for something like a MacBookPro, don't be cheap with additional hardware, go with consistency and compatibility, peace of mind is worth the extra cost.,

    It's nice having my all in one iMac. But adding this drive topped it off. I find it easier for uploading from discs than the internet. And I found it easy to burn both DVDs and CDs.

    Plugged right in and works great. Only downside is you have to use at a desk or table top to support but it's not an issue for me considering it's only used once in awhile

    I bought this to transfer all my CD's to flash drives since I don't have a CD player. I transferred over 100 songs and now can enjoy my music whenever I like.
