Rating: 5/5 fits and works well December 6, 2014 I bought this unit to replace the aging unit in my MacBook Pro- 13" mid-2010 build. Installation was relatively simple- I am a relative newbie- thanks in part to the video found on OWC's website. The drive seems to work well and did so from the start. I will f/u re: reliability issues if necessary.

I would recommend this item to a friend!

Rating: 5/5 Very good deal October 23, 2014 The product package was very reasonably priced. The instructions to remove the old drive and install the new one were spot on. I haven't tried any of the additional software products yet but my new drive is working like a charm. No problems yet and I've been burning and watching DVDs like crazy. I always buy my Mac upgrade products from OWC because they always work without any problems.

I would recommend this item to a friend!

Rating: 5/5 Great Addition ! April 16, 2013 I have had my 13.5 inch Macbook since 2006. It came with a DVD-R/CD R-RW drive and I was getting tired of using a add-on DVD RW drive to save /work with my big files. I saw this DVD-R-RW DL Drive on sale about 2 1/2 months ago and ordered it immediately. With your detailed instructions, available on your website, I replaced the internal DVD-R drive with this one and the difference is amazing. It has given my old macbook a new lease on life. I am using it almost as much as my desktop i-Mac.

I would recommend this item to a friend!
