    I purchased this little optical drive for use with my MacBook Pro which does not have one. I use it for loading software into the MacBook as well as for burning CDs and DVDs of my files and photos for backup purposes. There was no problem hooking it up. I simply plugged it into one of the USB 3 ports on my MacBook, it was immediately recognized and I started working with it. Fantastic!

    iMac SuperDrive replacement

    Bought this when the SuperDrive in my iMac went out. Low-cost option for ripping DVDs, etc. Had to edit a Hex file to get the Mac to recognize it, but that's an OS X issue, not the drive's fault. Working great so far. Wish it w a slot load, but that's a lot to ask for for ~$35.
