Review: Works great! - Worked great to create DVD's from my Mac of old family movies for family members.
Review: Go with Apple - The days of using DVDs and CDs for backup are quickly fading. Like a lot of people I still have some stuff stored on DVDs that I need to get to every now and then. Sometimes I still even do a secondary backup on DVD. So I still need a good DVD drive. There are a lot of much cheaper drives on the market. The problem I have had with these drives is that in some cases they don't work well with the newest OS of Mac or they die out quickly. For me the only choice is a true Apple SuperDrive. My last one lasted a number of years and finally started to exhibit some problems so it was time to get a new drive. I bought another Apple SuperDrive. Immediately it worked great as I expected it would. This is a very good DVD drive and does its job exactly as expected. If you are working with an Apple computer and need a DVD drive, the Apple SuperDrive is a great choice.
