Works great, right out of the box plug one end into the macbook air (2015) and the other to my monitor (LG 24").  One side uses the minidisplayport/thunderbolt connection and the other is a standard hdmi head.  You can plug any mdl/thunderbolt devices to anything that has an hdmi input.  Works great to show off in your tv or monitor.  It carries both audio and video perfectly.  BIG FYI The HDMI standard doesn't let you control sound volume from the original input (ex. macbook) only can be adjusted on the monitor/tv.

I have mine hooked up as a Time Machine backup drive to my 20" Aluminum iMac 2007 (320GB internal).  Works perfectly so far.  I just plugged it in, turned it on, and Mac OS X did the rest automagically.  When it is on, it is very quiet.  I have standing it on its side so it takes up almost no space, and it is behind my iMac so it is basically invisible.  Makes me feel a little silly for choosing a drive that matches the aluminum look of my computer.  After it's done backing up, I unmount it and power it down until Mac OS X reminds me to back up (every 10 days).  This thing is everything I wanted, and at a great price.

UPDATE, DEC 2012: Upgrading my rating to 5 stars.  Four years later, this thing still works perfectly.  Of course, as mentioned above, I do not run it continuously.  The fact that there is an on/off switch is a plus since not all drives include one these days.  I have had ZERO problems with this product.

My Mac is three years old and nothing has ever gone wrong with it. I figure that's why I go through so many of these adapters - Apple needs to keep you in their customer data base.  If you look in the on-line Apple Store you'll see one star review after one star review on the adapters.  But there are worse things than the Apple adapter - the generic ones.  They'll usually overheat and spark within a week or two.

In order to make the Apple adapter live as long as possible, make sure you pull the little hooks out of the sides and run the cord around them so that there's no tension - ever - on the cord that runs to the machine.  And when you pull the magnetized adapter out of the computer, hold onto the magnet part, don't pull from the cord.  Baby it and it may live to adulthood.

Then again, my last one lost one on the little Mag-Safe pins and stopped working. I've no idea how that happened - you should have to pull them out with needle-nosed pliers if you want to destroy it. But no, evidently these power adapters know how to foil all attempts to keep them operating. The only way I know of to keep them in fine running order for a long period of time is to never move them.  That works great, but since it's a portable computer, it's not very likely to happen.

I got this drive to store media for my 2012 Macbook Air, which is USB 3.0 compatible. The drive worked fine for a few days, then ceased to be recognized by my computer. I did some research and ultimately decided that it must be a problem with the USB 3.0 adapter build into the bottom of the enclosure. I bought a USB 2.0 external enclosure, tore the drive out of the Seagate, put the bare drive in the new enclosure, and it worked like a charm. I'm a little bothered that I had to spend more money to get this to work, but even for a bare drive it's still a great price. The drive hasn't had any problems since then (going on two weeks now). Overall this is a fine hard drive which is spoiled by hit-and-miss connectivity with the USB 3.0 adapter. For what it's worth, I never had any problems hooking this drive up to any windows machines. It was just the Mac ports that it didn't like.

I just added this to my iMac27 late 2012. When I bought the iMac, I had put in 16GB of the same Crucial Memory  part number for Mac and it has been working great for a couple of years.  So now I decided  to get the iMac to 32 GB with the current low prices. I expect to continue using this iMac for at least a few more years. I run Windows with Parallels  and now I have absolutely no concerns about memory requirements for anything I do.
I also bought this  16 GB ram for a early 2011 Macbook Pro  (non-retina)  and it also works perfectly at 1600 mhz. Current versions of OS X will take advantage of extra ram by caching an increased amount of data in ram to reduce disk accesses.

June 2017  and still working perfectly in my 2012 iMac 27 and 2011 Macbook Pro

works great, not a lot to say as it's memory.  Put it into the Macbook 2010 and it worked right away.

I put this in my late 2007 MacBook Pro and I had no issues. Worked perfectly without a hitch. Very simple process that anyone can do themselves, AND it helps your MacBook in such a great way!

I have always leaned toward choosing WD drive for there reliability, and had great luck until last my two purchases of My Studio USB drives.

This drive worked perfectly with an older iMac running Snow Leopard for about 6 months, then upgraded to a new iMac (OS X 10.9.1) and it has been problems ever since.

I have two of these My Studios connected (2 TB and this 3TB), they constantly dismount and then the iMac tries to reconnect with a restart and throws errors messages.  This happens after a period of inactivity.. or like when time machine attempts to start.. very frustrating.

Contacted AppleCare, they diagnosed problems with the drives, contacted WD tech support.  They admitted they have compatibility problems with Mavericks (then why sell it as a mac drive?), first they said I should change the USB hub I am using (did. no change), then as a last resort, go through a tedious process of updating the firmware on the drive. which they warned may destroy your data.  REALLY!!!

I have not attempted the firmware update yet; am considering just replacing these drives.  I would have given 5 stars for the way it functioned with Snow Leopard, but only deserves one star for working with the most current mac OS.

Before purchasing these, you may want to google some combination of WD Mavericks spindown spinup incompatible.

The connector for my new MacBook Air seemed to come off with the least bump. I have several of the toothbrush type power connector cords so I bought a couple of the converters and ordered a couple of these. THEY WORK GREAT. The fit of the converter is tight so I don't have to worry about it coming out when the Air isn't plugged in and the converter stays on much better than the newer version. The Magcozy was easy to attach to the cord. Just wrap it around and push the end through the hole. Don't put the converter in first. Do that after you get the Cozy attached.

I've been using this intermittently for a few months.  Have had no issues.  Only annoyance is there is no model number printed anywhere on the adapter, so it is hard to figure out what driver to install.  Windows 7 had a built in driver.  I am looking for one for Mac OS X 10.8.

Bought this to replace my 4 GB ram for my trusty 4 year old Macbook Aluminum Late 2008.
The ram is working well with the Macbook, just a pity that the Macbook doesn't support more ram.

Overall, great purchase.

I can CONFIRM that you can use this superdrive with a MacBook Pro 2010 and other recent Mac computers (supposedly not supported by apple).
My stock internal drive refuses to accept blank DVD's, but will read and burn CD's.  I decided to go the easy route and get the external for the times I need to read or burn DVDs rather than repair the MacBook Pro myself and risk ebay purchases for a similar cost.  This drive is extremely convenient since it doesn't require any other power cords - just a single USB cord for power and connection.  I bought my USB MacBook Air Superdrive directly from the local mac store.  This one has the CD-Raw format which means it is the newest version of the mac superdrive.  It appears to be slightly better than the one it is replacing.

Found online, by typing (copying and pasting) one line of code and pressing return in the terminal window (run the application called Terminal in your Applications/Utilities folder),

sudo nvram boot-args="mbasd=1"

and restarting the drive becomes 100% functional when plugged in.  Prior to this, plugging in the superdrive into the USB port didn't work in the least - it wouldn't even accept a inserted DVD!  After the trick and restart, I could insert, eject, burn blank DVD media.  After you press return in the terminal window, you'll need to type in your administrator password.

The computers I successfully tested with this superdrive and trick were:

17" MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 OS X 10.6.8
MacMini Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz OS X 10.6.8
iMac Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz OS X 10.7.4 (and also booted it from 10.7 OS DVD to see if it would boot)

The computers I tried unsuccessfully were (trying a variety of complicated tricks):
15" Powerbook G4 1.67GHz
17" Powerbook G4 1.67GHz
Powermac G5 Dual 2 GHz

Based on this I would deduce that Intel Core Macs should be able to utilize this trick and have success.  There may be more involved ways to get this to work with older systems - but I am unwilling to risk it.  In the case of the Powermac, I am not really sure why I tried (no need)!  Sure you could buy a faster external DVD burner without any limitations - but where do you get one with a single cord and the elegant small form factor?  My biggest concern in getting a replacement drive for my laptop was longevity, and from what I read online the internal superdrives had a reputation for early death.

Thunderbolt port quit working on macbook air.  This was a great option that works perfect and cost less then trying to get the port fixed.

I've been using this adapter for over a year now with my Macbook Air and I haven't had any problems with it yet.

I have owned several of these over the last decade or more and love them!  The last two that I bought prior to this purchase was back in Dec 2012 and I used one on the iMac and the other on my PC notebooks.  Even after changing out batteries on the old ones, I kept having difficulties highlighting and copying text.  Oddly, this seemed to happen simultaneously on both so who knows, it could be a software update I'm not aware of.  I figured that after almost 4 years of use, it was time to just get another one.  The new one works just as it should and highlighting text is no longer an issue.  I still use the old one on the iMac for now and still have the other one as a backup.
