    Plays CDs and DVDs OK, but when I try to copy a CD the internal CD/DVD drive pops out. Not sure what the fix is yet.

    This is a great little DVD Drive. The only issue I have had is that it does not work with some Apple software.

    The Mac Books we are using do not have disk drives. It really made things difficult. The little addition has been a great help.

    Bought this on the recommendation of the salesperson to use with a new Macbook pro. Hooked it up to install software to use at college. Didn't work. Took it back to Best Buy-they tested it and it was a dud. They gave me a replacement and it works fine. Id rather not go through the hassle of exchanging a factory reject that made it through the quality control process.
