Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Apple Macbook Air SuperDrive (MB397G/A)
Customer Review: Works as specified
Summary: 5 Stars
Other reviewers have complained about the fragility of this device, so I have heeded their warnings and keep it in the original box on my desk to use there only. So far I have had no complaints or problems with it, and it does what it is supposed to do. I still have major issues with iTunes, whose interface and general file system design, in my opinion, really stink and make peripherals like the SuperDrive a lot more difficult to use than they should be, but the drive itself works quite well.Customer Review: Not so much a review, just a note...
Summary: 3 Stars
I've realized something. As someone was so astute as to point out, other DVD drives that work with the air can be used with ANY usb slot... So I realized, perhaps that means they will work WITH a hub on the air? worthy of testing, surely, and if I get the chance, I will write a more informed review after having tested this. Thank you for mentioning how other usb DVD ports work in correlation (right usage of the word? maybe?) with Mac's "Superdrive". Perhaps not so super after all.Customer Review: Ultimately Incompatible
Summary: 1 Stars
This 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..Customer Review: Great device for the MacBook Air
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this when I ordered my MacBook Air simply because I wanted the back-up security in case it was difficult to install programs through my iMac. I have used it consistently since that time and find it to be a perfectly adequate product. In fact, I would recommend it to anyone who purchases the MacBook Air. It is lightweight and almost as portable as the Air. Definitely recommended.Customer Review: The cord for the superdrive
Summary: 3 Stars
I wish the cord that's attached to the superdrive was a removable usb cable, but it's not. It's permanently attached to the superdrive, and suffers from a very flimsy construction. It feels like it can easily break off the superdrive, and one day, it just might. Other than that, the design of the drive itself is beautiful. Just wish they put more thought in the cord.
