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.

    Works well for cd's and dvd movies. Fast enough and reasonably quiet. A bit expensive and lacks blu-ray capability. Plug and play.

    This is definitely an accessory you will need to purchase at some point, if you ever want to run a disk or DVD. I don’t think the price was bad for Apple certified.
