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.

    I still use some CDs and manual install software. Thought I would need to configure it to work. Gotta say, I just plugged it into my MacBook Pro and it worked! WoW!

    If you're looking for a straightforward disc drive solution for your MacBook, this is it. No frills, but just solid craftsman ship that integrates seamlessly.

    Works as expected! The key to Apple products is they play nice with each other and keep on working for years.

    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.

    Since my iMac did not come with a CD/DVD player/recorder, this item fits the bill. I use it frequently and have had no problems except if the disk gets stuck. For that information to take care of that, just check the Internet for the "how to."

    I don't use a disc drive often but sometimes you do need to use it and since the new MacBooks don't have the drives built in, I picked this up. It's worked great!

    I bought the 13" macbook pro which does not include a DVD drive. So I bought the Apple - SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer DVD RW/CD-RW Drive because I needed to move over 1000 pictures from my old 15" mac to my new 13" mac. The external DVD drive is so easy to install and so easy to use. I never had to question anything nor did I have to refer to the instruction manual. This is a perfect way to keep the weight off the 13" mac especially if one has to travel with a computer!!!

    Prefect CD player/ writer for beginner/ immediate users. Alot of cd device that are much better, but unless your into gaming or flash to bang results the Apple cd device is prefect for day to day use. In my case every other week use.

    The more Apples we try, the more we become convinced of the superior design and features offered by the Apple brand. This is #7 and we expect the trend to continue.
