    Works great, but...

    • Written by from Belmont

    Calling something a "SuperDrive" that doesn't have Blu-Ray seems like a misnomer.

    I'm trying to take my movie collection to digital, and this drive falls short.

    Functions well, but hate the design.

    • Written by from Ypsilanti

    I bought this or my Macbook Air after the computer came and I realized to my astonishment that there is no CD drive in the laptop! (I love the idea of striving to make it lighter/thinner but not in sacrificing necessary parts of the computer to do so... and then charging for an overpriced exterior version!)

    This drive works impeccably well I will say. But the design is awful. There are no buttons on the drive itself which makes it simplistic, yes, but whenever I run into a software issue and the computer doesn't recognize the disk I've inserted THERE IS NO WAY TO REMOVE IT. That's just ridiculously frustrating. And the photo on the site doesn't show the cord, but it's pathetically short. I will need to be investing in an extension USB cord now because when you sit with your laptop on your lap and wish to use to super-drive, there's not enough room to set it anywhere and so it hangs by your side only to possibly get damaged.

    Also I wish there was some kind of case for this drive! I have no way to protect it from scratches.

    In short, product good, design very, very bad.

    Windows support is kind of crummy. Since there's no eject button, you need to be viewing the desktop/a few other places to take out a disc. It also lacks pinhole eject so it needs to be plugged in to eject.

    At least it's extremely small and light.
