Optical Drives For Mac

No one wants to use an unreliable external optical drive for their $ 1,000 or above MacBook Pro / Air, although all sellers claim that their optical drive is perfectly compatible with all Apple computers. The value of time wasted by an unreliable product is much higher than the price of the product itself, you may also lose a valuable disc.

First, we must make sure that the external CD/DVD drive for MacBook Pro/Air comes from a professional seller, rather than a seller who selling underwear and stockings. Especially those speculative sellers, who will attract buyers to buy their products through cheating for some time, and leave immediately. Then you will never find them again. Then you will no longer find them again, even if your CD/DVD drive is still within their stated warranty.

It needs to be reminded that, like the problems encountered on ultra-thin windows laptops when using external optical drives, the 12-inch MacBook Air may not provide enough power for most external CD DVD drives. Therefore, for 12-inch and 13-inch Apple laptops, we recommend using a self-powered USB or USB-C hub (20 watts or above) for these big external devices.

All sellers will try their best to make their products look better, but the truly reliable products are not just attractive pictures and many sticky 5-star product reviews. A qualified Macbook external CD DVD drive must be stable and have good after-sales support services because we all know that we may encounter some common problems such as “unrecognizable” or “unplayable” during use. After analysis and comparison, we recommend the following products for reference and will be updated regularly.
