Apple Computer Open Cd Drive

Open the box, open the computer, screw the card in, put the CD in the optical drive to load the driver, plug in the internet cable, Go.

Works great...I got a new Apple computer and it didnt have a CD drive. I needed a CD drive/burner, so I ordered this one and it is great! Small, compact if I should need to carry it with me. I recommend it highly!

Since my new Apple desktop computer does not have a CD drive, it was necessary to purchase this separately but I would much rather have a separate CD drive than a huge tower!

Solves the problem of new computer not having a CD/DVD drive, at a reasonable price.

The USB-C adapter works great with the Apple CD drive. A USB-C CD drive was hard to find & expensive. This works great.

I bought an Apple disc drive to rip music from a CD for my Apple MacBook Air, and it wouldn't work with my other dongle. I bought this attachment and was able to import my CD no problem!

The Apple Super Drive (CD/DVD) is a perfect addition to my 27 iMac. It attaches easily to a 3.0 USB jack. It both allows me to load applications and music/video with ease, or playback stored media. Because it is an Apple product, its speed and reliability go without saying. Highly recommended for all Apple devices that do not have a built-in optical drive.

For those of us who need to use more than one external back-up drive, for whom CD/DVD drives are important, who need to use an external mouse, Apple's obsession with making everything thin at the cost of connectivity and other functions presents real problems. This hub answers a number of needs well.

Still need CD/DVD's from time to time. Traded in my old iMac which had the drive in it for a new iMac. Apple for Apple. Can't beat it. And reasonably priced too!

I purchased this optical drive to use with a new iMac 5K 27-inch Retina (2017) machine. While there were less expensive third party USB optical drives available for the Mac, I elected to purchase the Apple product to eliminate any possible compatibility issues. The Apple SuperDrive works very quietly with no surprises. There is no clunky tray to load. Simply partially insert a CD or DVD into the slot on the SuperDrive and the drive pulls it the rest of the way into the unit. When you eject the device from the Mac desktop, the SuperDrive gently pushes the CD or DVD out so it can then be easily removed. A dust seal keeps dust from entering the media insertion slot of the drive. Please note that the attached USB cable on the SuperDrive is short: only about a foot long. This is not an issue when using it with the iMac, but your situation may be different.
