  1. Anthony –

    Great device to pair along side my Mac Studio. It helps for when I need music and more.

  2. TonyP –

    Like most Apple products this DVD player works just great. I even enjoy opening the Apple packaging. I should have bought this Apple DVD originally because I bought a less expensive brand and it failed within 6 months.

  3. Devcosmos –

    Product is good and got the new metallic feel that mac users likes.

  4. CoryW –

    Exactly what I needed. Pairs perfectly with all my other Apple products

  5. Swilson6144 –

    Got my wife a Mac Mini M2 to replace her old and failing 27″ iMac and needed to have this for playing DVDs and burning photos and data to CD/DVD. One issue we have is that it has to be directly connected to the Mac Mini. Even with a powered hub we were told it needed power. An expansion dock is probably in our future to add more connectivity and storage options.

  6. Cindy –

    I needed this to be able to view X-rays of may sons legs and didn’t want to trust am cheaper brand so I purchased this and I love it. I can also watch movies with it on my laptop.

  7. RichardsD –

    DVD drive works just as I expected. loading is quick picture is as good.

  8. mergerguy –

    The Apple – SuperDrive is a plug and play device that you can be using just minutes after plugging in.

  9. ERnurse –

    Very slick and well designed. Super fast performance.

  10. StephenA –

    some times sketchie but overall has done what I have wanted it to do

  11. Alex –

    I bought this because physical media seems to be going away and it does exactly what i need it to. I have a M1 mini and a M2 macbook air and both hooked up to it seamlessly and I had burnt dvds in no time. No issues.

  12. sir1955 –

    Good addition to the laptop. Need this to view dvd submissions.

  13. TerryA –

    This external drive works beautifully with my MacBook Air. I am very pleased.

  14. user777424 –

    It is very great for Cd and Dvd with computer or laptop

  15. Jason –

    Great quality and it was a plug and play with the Mac Book Pro.

  16. littleoldlady –

    Easy to set up. Easy to use. Works with Apple without complications.

  17. CamilleT –

    I added this attachment for CDs. I have many – downloaded a lot to add to mu music. Great choice to have purchased this extra and above…

  18. Samsung50Inch –

    I bought this to see medical images on CDs from my Doctor. Unfortunately, the images are only compatible with windows. I kept it since it may come in handy for other purposes.

  19. Flatman –

    Wanted a quality drive for my MAC so I ordered this. First drive I got I had to use a screw drive to push the disc to stay in the drive. Ordered a second and it works fine. First one was either defective or got to knocked around when shipped in the envelop B.B. sent it in. I would not be reluctant to order this again.

  20. RodneyG –

    I love this product. It not only plays regular dvds, but dvd-write and cd-write.

  21. Jeff –

    Does what it should but did not work until I purchased the actual Apple branded USB to USB-C adapter to connect to my MacBook. Other branded adapter would not allow the MacBook to recognize the drive.

  22. BryceW –

    Works great, just what I needed. Functions exactly as described.

  23. Uncle –

    Haven’t been able to get this drive to work yet with my late 2011 13′ MacBook Pro. Probably no fault of the drive but Best Buy wanted a review so…

  24. HussainA –

    Was easy to set up and submit my files over must have

  25. Fantastic –

    Great external super CD-RW drive. Enjoying the machine.

  26. MattC –

    For it being a older device that may not even be in production anymore, it works amazing! I was able to burn all my cds directly into my Apple Music except for one that is more of a mixture of multiple albums, and it will still play the CD fine without burning it to your music. Really recommend this product for mac Devices.

  27. RachelleS –

    The USB cable didn’t match my new computer. No one replied to my email questions.

  28. Ouij –

    Too Expensive for what it is, but its apple so what do you expect. Works just like a $20 external CD rom but apple branded. Slot loaders also give me anxiety. Will I ever see my cd rom again?? who knows!

  29. Yvonne –

    Ease of operation and great quality! Am enjoying my treasured dvd collection and music from cds

  30. Adam –

    Excellent superdrive, just what I wanted to use and still us it to this day

  31. Alex –

    Plays my DVDs and CDs and saves me from having one connected to my TV. Love to be able to enjoy my music that isn’t a digital copy. I love the fact that it plays DVDs from multiple regions

  32. JamesC –

    I had a great experience with the cashier. He helped me with ordering the Apple dvd burner which I could have ordered online. However, I wanted to pay with a gift card. He took me all the way from start to finish and to check my email for tracking my delivery. And most importantly, he said if any problems arise come see him. Can’t ask for anything better than that. Also, the Apple burner was better than expected. it worked with my Mac mini m1 with no problems

  33. Brian –

    Does it’s thing without issue. Slim profile so it doesn’t get in the way.

  34. tiremac –

    Great device to use with newer computers that don’t have a disc drive to use with cd’s , dvd’s, upload or download family videos.

  35. greggooo –

    This thing is expensive, a bit too much, but it’s the best one for my mac and works flawlessly.

  36. WilliamH –

    Five stars for sure app was simple to use. Delivery was quick and easy.

  37. JamesL –

    This drive fits perfectly with my system thanks to the geek squad made the perfect recordmendation.

  41. JTHW –

    THIS EXTERNAL DRIVE WORKS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER I HAVE PURCHASED.

  42. goodtv –

    We needed to transport music from CDs to our MacBook Air. This reasonably-priced (?) Apple product did the trick.

  43. SpaceView –

    It works……………………………………

  44. Lilysmom –

    I previously purchased an off-brand but had to return it. The Apple pro!duct was definitely superior

  45. SubwayDave08 –

    Ease of pickup and the quality of the product! Great shopping at BB!

  46. Nottootecksavy –

    Easy to use, works great, fits nicely without taking too much space and looks nice.

    Exactly what I was looking for. Works perfectly!!!

  48. Disappointed –

    I’ve been wanting this for so long. Since 2020 when I had to get a new iMac. So I’m really happy to have it.

  49. smitty –

    Works Great. In this day and age to think an item this simple is almost extinct, WOW. Saves me a lot of running around.

  50. JosephC –
