Perfect
Works great. Houses an internal disc drive. Does what it needs to. I suggest using your own cord. I used it for my Macbook pro 15 2011 disc drive I pulled to do a data doubler for it. I don't think the size of laptop matters. It does everything that your original disc drive did in your computer. I heard a lot of complaints about it not working with the DVD app on El Capitan. For me, it worked perfect. I suggest it. It's even cheaper at B&H ($18) ... Show More

Reuse anot old Scott less dvd-rw
I bought this because I had a trayless dvdrw from a laptop that went bad. The dvdrw installed and worked great. Absolutely no issues finding the drive or any functions.The only issue with the device is the there is no way to manually remove the inserted disk unless you plug it into a working computer

Excellent unit
Excellent unit. Only complaint was that it felt flimsy when I got it but once the drive was installed properly it felt much more sturdy. would prefer it to have the USB cable attached like the Apple external Superdrive but no big deal really. No more than I use it right now.

For the most part seamless installation and work
This is a very straightforward device. Pay attention to the screws--one of them needs to be used in the back and it's a special one--and the rest is relatively simple. Works smoothly. I'm very happy to have my superdrive back

works but could be better instructions
I expected some indication the device was functioning, a light, a new device or just showing up on the desktop. Thought it wasn't working until I put in a CD. The instructions could have noted this.

It's not expensive, and if you're recycling old MacPros...
took the drive out of the old MacBook pros that died. This works just fine. Not a heavy-duty enclosure, but makes the hook-up as it's supposed to.
