Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive's ease of use, USB connectivity, and compact size. Many appreciate its compatibility with various systems and its performance in burning and reading discs. However, some customers find the price to be a bit high. A minor drawback mentioned is the lack of a physical eject button and a short power cord.

    For those times when you still need an optical drive, this is an easy one to use. Powers right over the USB which makes it vey convenient.

    The Apple SuperDrive works as advertised. It is not fancy but does it's job. It took me a couple tries to figure it out (software) but finally got it.

    It was a good price, and will be handy to have. I like that my computer is lighter for traveling since I don't always need the drive. And the shipping was quick.

    Since the new computer is so slim & doesn't have a slot on the side for a disk, this External super drive is nice & neat and sits out of the way .Works well.

    Apple did well with the design of this product. It is made very well. Just make sure to eject the disk before unplugging it from your mac.

    Does the job

    Even with everything in the cloud, I still want to work with CDs or DVDs occasionally. This external hard drive does the job, and looks good attached to my MacBook. It supports double-layer DVDs, which can fit 8.5 GB of data. Perfect for backing up photos, videos, music and important documents. I've had hard drives and flash drives fail after a few years, but discs can last for decades. Chances are the data you burn to a disc will live longer than you will. Two small quibbles: no blu-ray, and the USB cord is rather short.
