Editorial Review: Product Description: Compact and convenient, the MacBook Air SuperDrive connects to your MacBook Air computer with a single USB cable and fits easily into a travel bag. It lets you install software and play and burn both CDs and DVDs, including double-layer DVDs. Amazon.com Product Description:
The new Apple MacBook Air is thin and beautiful, and is able to do tricks such as borrow the optical drive of another computer on a network. But sometimes you need an optical drive on the go, and that's where the Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive comes in. Made by Apple with a design to complement the MacBook Air perfectly, the MacBook Air SuperDrive connects to your MacBook Air with a built-in USB cable you'll never lose. No extra power adapters are needed, as the SuperDrive simply draws power from the USB connection itself, regardless of whether or not your MacBook Air is plugged in. The SuperDrive features speedy performance, writing DVD+R DL and DVD-R DL discs at up to 4x speed, and DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, and DVD+RW discs at up to 8x speed. Small Size for Easy Portability The MacBook Air SuperDrive employs a slot-loading design that makes it miniscule--barely larger than a CD case. You can easily drop the MacBook Air SuperDrive into your bag and take it everywhere you go. Now you can enjoy a DVD movie while on the plane or you can burn onto a CD that song you've been working on while you were on the tour bus. What's in the Box MacBook Air SuperDrive with attached USB cable, user's guide. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Well-Executed ProductI bought this after many months of not having a CD drive for my macbook air. It works well, is recognized quickly when plugged in, and burns CDs quickly. The only con is that it doesn't work with my regular macbook, not that it needs to since there is one built in, but it'd be convenient if I wanted to burn 2 cds at once or burn a cd image from one onto another.... Rating:  - Other OptionsWhile the SuoerDrive plays well with the MACBOOK Air there are other Drives you can use that play just as well. I have the "Samsung USB 2.0 8x DVD Writer External Optical Drive SE-S084B" and it works great with the MBA. I used it to load all my programs to my MBA. If the DVD fails to eject you can always manually eject it pressing the eject button something the SuperDrive does not permit. I did get the SuperDrive and it's a good match aesthetically and functions as advertised. Just remember, ... Read More Rating:  - Macbook Air SuperDrivePlug and play. No frills, no fireworks. It does what you buy it to do. Rating: - Also makes a great repair part!We needed a new DVD drive for our Core Duo Mac Mini and Apple branded replacements are not cheap. This works as a no-hack OEM fix for the Mini. Remove the drive, brackets and board from this drive, then six screws to get the drive out of the Mac Mini and off you go! Rating:  - Ultimately IncompatibleThis is a perfect example of Apple's philosophy of making incompatible devices, so that people have to buy more and more of their stuff. This drive works *only* with MacBook Air. I have a MacBook Pro, and it doesn't recognize this drive at all! You can't even eject a disc. Anyway, I bought it at the Apple Store, since this was the only way to install Windows -- and then returned it for a full refund. The drive is absolutely useless..
