It's pretty darn fast, small & light as a feather, and super easy to use. Since Apple and several other laptop manufacturers are doing away with internal disc drives, I wanted to purchase Apple to go with my growing Apple office. This model handles most disc media, so it's very convenient. I already own one, so I knew exactly what to expect. I really like this Apple SuperDrive and have lots of good things to say about it. I like the Apple SuperDrive so much that I bought this one for my husband. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned I picked this up for a third of the original cost of a new drive, and now I have two reliable backups although if something happens to this Apple drive, I'm definitely going to be purchasing a new one just like it. The lack of a tray has turned out to be a great thing and I now have an additional USB port. And both of my previous drives were from different companies, so one has rounded edges and a non-flat top while the other is more boxy. For the consistent look to my computing setup alone, it is worth the money in that while there's really nothing wrong with black plastic, plastic looks cheap compared to aluminum. So, although it didn't solve my issue, it still brought a number of improvements to tasks that I work on continually, which is ripping CD's to my iTunes. On the first day I plugged it in, and it just worked. It also feels and looks solid, no hint of cheapness like my previous drives, and it matches my aluminum Mac Mini and my two 30" aluminum Cinema Displays. They also had tray loading, and this Apple drive does not, which turns out to be easier and requires less room, or at least seems to take less room. The Genuine A pple USB SuperDrive only requires one USB port, whereas my two previous cheap drives required two. However, there are still some upsides to this.
If it happens with a genuine Apple product, then there is no solution for this.
But that problem is still a problem, unfortunately. So, after a lot of years of these two cheap drives working well (I would use one for a while and for some reason or another switch to the other, but they both had the same performance) and ripping literally thousands of CD's into my iTunes library, I decided to get this Genuine Apple USB drive, thinking that the problem of lost recognition would disappear.
I had this problem where after enough time, my Mac (24" iMac, and later a 2014 Mac Mini) wouldn't recognize it unless I restarted.
I was using some cheap black plastic external drives, which, honestly, weren't bad.
