Apple SuperDrive Overview

Whether you're at the office or on the road, you can play and burn both CDs and DVDs with the Apple USB SuperDrive. It works well when you want to watch a DVD movie, install software, create backup discs, and more. Only slightly bigger than a CD case, the Apple USB SuperDrive slips easily into your travel bag when you hit the road and takes up little space on your desk or tray table when you're working.

You don't have to worry about lost cables with the Apple USB SuperDrive. It connects to your MacBook Pro with Retina display, MacBook Air, iMac (late 2012 and later), Mac mini (late 2009 and later), or Mac Pro (late 2013) with a single USB cable that's built into the SuperDrive. There's no separate power adapter, and it works whether your Mac is plugged in or running on battery power.

I'm delighted with the Apple USB SuperDrive. My newer Mac doesn't have a DVD slot, but the SuperDrive makes it really easy to add. Once added, the drive restores the ability to read or write DVDs again.

Yes, I still play cds and dvd movies. I am glad I got this drive to rip and burn cds and watch my old dvds. Nice option since the MacBook Pro has no drive.

I bought this as a way to access and copy photos that were archived on CD and DVD. It has worked perfectly, even with the newer technology of my M1 Mac mini w/ MacOS Ventura.

Does it brake easily?
Asked by: Kathy
The Apple USB SuperDrive BH #APMMD564LLA is probably the strongest built optical drive available since its aluminum. Most other drives are plastic and fragile. It doesn't break easily.
