Gig Drive For The Apple Computer Harddrive

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!

I had a harddrive that had gotten a corrupt filesystem and I used this to plug it into another computer and fsck it. Worked great, in Linux.

this computer is fast and its apple... what more can I say.

I use this to connect a hard drive to my computer. I get 735mbps read with it. Some of Apple's cables have been poorly constructed in the past. This one is great!!

Great and very cost effective way to back-up my Apple Computer. I use it as a bridge to a 20TB drive, reserving it for my current photographic works and when done the data leaves to be archived.

This drive only works on newer Apple Computers. I had to purchase another DVD/CDW drive to work on my old iMac G-5 to replace the worn out drive built in the computer; I was lucky that B&H had that drive and it works fine.  I had no problems with the Apple USB SuperDrive on my new computer and will keep when I replace the newer computer (7 years old now) as the new iMacs do not have a built in drive.

I think I found a hard Drive that works with my apple computer without buying extra cables. I’ll go and take some pictures and see if I can export and import than edit without it degrading the photo. So far it looks great.

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!

Apple Care is absolutely worth the investment. I had it on my last computer, and it paid for itself more than once (Apple replaced the hard drive as well as my charger).

Have bought this to use as a reader.A reasonbly price 'player' of watching blu rays,dvds and to listen to cds.I have no concern about speed of the burning process as the faster you burn,there will be a high chance of a buffer over run.Never the less,as far as burning onto blank disc,I don't use them.I am using this to rip CDs and DVDs onto external harddrive.I have discovered that the external box can accomodate other brands of drive.And it is far cheaper to just buy a replacement drive than a standalone 'rom'. Besides you do not have to worry about the lack of usb power as this product comes with a separate power supply and will not draw the power from the usb power thus it will not damage your equipment.However,if the external psu does gets damage after long term of use (wear and tear),I can always get one of those 'audiophile' psu for this external box dvd.Psu that comes with this,is multi voltage.The box can also use to accomodate a harddrive besides CD rom,DVD rom and Blu Ray.But you need a metal cage to accomodate a 3.5 drive and it is not practical as the drive will heat up so,it is better a buy a stand alone external drive as they have a built in fan.This box does not have one.On a contrary,fan will introduce noise into the system.So to sum up,yes it is a nice product and get one while it is still available as no one makes an aluminium case these days with a separate psu.
