    I bought this to go with my newly purchased iMac. I wanted to rip DVDs and this works as expected. No it is not super fast but it is fast enough for the job I am doing. For the price I bought it at (on sale) and the use of my reward points you cannot beat it.

    I have no idea why they took dvd drives out of laptops, seriously they don't take up much space and weigh nothing. This is the next best thing, cheap and solid

    I didn't do my homework and was disappointed to find that my new Macbook Air didn't come with a DVD drive. For a minimal price, this device has fit the bill. I have used it to watch movies and download images from a disk. It was easy to install and worked great!
