Top Amazon Reviews
Pros: • Sleek and Compact Design: The Apple USB SuperDrive boasts a minimalist design that is both sleek and compact. It easily fits into a laptop bag, making it perfect for on-the-go use. • Plug-and-Play Convenience: With no need for additional drivers or software, the SuperDrive offers true plug-and-play convenience. Simply connect it to your MacBook via USB, and it’s ready to go. • Reliable Performance: This drive is highly reliable for reading and writing CDs and DVDs. It handles a variety of media types with ease, providing consistent performance for all your media needs. • Apple Compatibility: Designed specifically for Apple products, the SuperDrive integrates seamlessly with MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and other Mac models. It matches the Apple aesthetic perfectly and functions smoothly with macOS. Cons: • Limited to USB-A: The SuperDrive uses a USB-A connector, which can be inconvenient for newer Mac models that feature only USB-C ports. An adapter is required for these models, which is an additional purchase. I wish Apple would upgrade the USB-A. • Price: The Apple USB SuperDrive is more expensive compared to other external optical drives on the market. However, its build quality and seamless integration with Apple products may justify the higher cost for many users. • No Blu-ray Support: The SuperDrive does not support Blu-ray discs, which limits its functionality for those who need to read or write Blu-ray media. ☹️ Conclusion: The Apple USB SuperDrive is a reliable and stylish solution for accessing CDs and DVDs on your Mac. Its sleek design, ease of use, and seamless integration with Apple products make it a convenient choice for those within the Apple ecosystem. While it is pricier and limited to USB-A connectivity, its performance and compatibility with macOS offer significant advantages. However, if you require Blu-ray support or have a newer Mac with only USB-C ports, you may need to consider additional accessories or alternatives. Overall, the SuperDrive is an excellent choice for users seeking a dependable and portable optical drive.

The cd/dvd drive was easy to connect to my laptop and has been working quietly for me. No problems with it so far.

So pleased with this product. Please note that in order to use it with a Mac, you need to buy a USB-C to USB Adapter , which is also made by Apple. This works easily with my Mac and you can scroll to the top of the screen for the necessary controls to Play, Stop and Eject Disc. This device allows one yo keep and play the DVDs and CDs collected over the years.

Nice quality, very sturdy, auto feed nice touch. Value for Money: Very nice unit, but very expensive. Reason for three stars for "Easy to Install" was: MacBook Pro - plug-n-play. Yeah! Win10 NOT plug-n-play. Ugh! Hint 1 Only complaint, Apples written instructions doesn't tell Windows users about the need for Apple drivers, where and which to pick. Downloaded Windows drivers from Apple, installed with no issues, drive now works in Win10. Not a big deal. Internet instructions: 1. Plug the SuperDrive into an available USB port on the Windows PC. 2. Download that latest "Boot Camp drivers" from Apple. https://support.apple.com/downloads/macoscomponents 3. Right-click on the Boot Camp zip file in the Downloads folder, and then, click Extract All. 4. Launch the AppleODDInstaller64.exe file, that is located at: /BootCamp/Drivers/Apple/AppleODDInstaller.exe, and then, follow the steps to install the driver on your PC. 5. After successfully installing this driver, you should be able to use the SuperDrive as you normally would. Hint 2 Win10 does not have its own DVD / Movie player (odd). "Windows Media Player" did not work with homemade and store bought movies, irrespective of the drive used. The internet revealed others with the same experience. Their guidance was to use a free media player (like VLC or one like it). Once the free player was installed the drive worked fine with Win10. Done. Cheers!

I purchased this because the optical drive in an older computer stopped working, and the newest computer doesn't have one. I've only used it a little so far, but I've had no problems with it playing content from CDs and DVDs. However, like many Apple products, the price is high, so I debated a while before getting it. The other issue is that it would NOT work connected to a USB 3 or USB 2 hub that was connected to my computer, but requires a built-in USB port on the computer all to itself. I had to rearrange my USB hubs and devices to free a port for it, and the built-in cable is is so short that it makes positioning the SuperDrive in a convenient location difficult. Anyway, as long as it keeps working I'm OK with it.

It works great with my iMac, it read a dvd that the drive installed in a pc of mine could not read completely. But, you need to buy another cable. As it states it’s a usb drive and my iMac does not have a usb port.
