    The Apple USB SuperDrive is a sleek and reliable external optical drive that seamlessly integrates with Macs lacking built-in CD/DVD drives. Its compact design makes it highly portable, perfect for users who need to read or burn CDs and DVDs on the go. Setup is effortless—simply plug it into a USB port and start using it with macOS’s built-in software. While its compatibility is limited to Macs and doesn’t support Blu-ray discs, its performance in reading and writing CDs and DVDs is excellent. If you’re looking for a reliable and stylish external drive to complement your Mac setup, the Apple USB SuperDrive is a solid choice.

    I bought this drive after purchasing and returning the LG model SP80NB60. The Apple drive costs twice as much but it works much better. It has a slot rather than a tray (which can sometimes feel flimsy.) It seems to be heavy duty, made of metal rather than plastic. At this point I haven' used it to burn any cds or dvds. I have only used it rip live cd-rs to my computer. The drive was quiet, ejected nicely and worked quickly enough. It also fits nicely on the base / stand of my iMac. I give it 5 stars even though I haven't burned any discs yet.

    Another Must Have Apple Product!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    For almost two decades now I have been lucky enough to be able purchase Apple products. Of those products I have had a MacBook Air, two MacBook Pros and three iMac machines. Until the last decade these have all had the Mac SuperDrive. As time goes by the need for the SuperDrive has been all but eliminated. Because of the use of USB Flash Drives and The Cloud just to name a few reasons. With that being said I too use the iCloud, USB Flash Drives and External Hard Drive's. Now why I feel there's a place for Apples USB SuperDrive. I for one still feel the need to make hard copies of certain Data. For starters important documents, backup copies of music that I have purchased. Backup Copies movies that I have purchased. Priceless pictures that can't be replaced. While several companies are manufacturing external optical drives. None of these even come close to the quality of the Apple USB SuperDrive. The drive itself is designed by Apple. It is built with the same quality materials that Apple builds all of their products with. It is built of aluminum. The unit looks outstanding with my MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and the iMac. Most importantly the Apple USB SuperDrive is quiet and works flawlessly! I do hope this helps.

    If you own an Apple, this is the optical drive for you. The set up was seamless and the drive performs flawlessly - as long as the human in charge performs flawlessly, too. I would not consider any other optical drive for my MacBookPro.

    Great DVD and CD Player

    I was a little disappointment that my 5k 27 inch Imac did not have a CD and DVD player but I guess it had to be removed to make the computer thinner. I still own a lot of music in CD form and want to create DVD videos for the family who are still behind the whole Bluray technology. I have tested this device importing audio and data from CDs and still works like a champ. I have over 30 CDs of data from the past that I forgot about so I used this device to import my stuff to my computer. I will update my review if it fails.

    I live in a 3rd world country without internet. It is also unsafe to be out after dark and no tv channels where I live. DVD's literally save me, providing entertainment when I need to relax. My new mac does not have a dvd drive so the reason for the purchase. Love it.

    There is no doubt in my mind period that there is not a easier, simpler, better quality four external C drive DVD writer/reader on the market. This product is the most friendliest see user-friendly and easiest external device that I have ever used with my MacBook air period. I tried two other manufacturers and I immediately returned them manufacturers before this one that Apple produced. The quality is out standing.! And the customer service I experienced completely complemented my whole trip Best Buy. KEEP IT UP Best Buy.!.!

    Apple never ceases to impress with its integrated design. The USB SuperDrive fits perfectly on the stand of my 27" iMac. It looks like it is part of the stand itself. Not all iMac users may have need of a disc drive, but for those who do, this optional equipment really increases the versatility of the computer. I am very satisfied.
