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.

    This works like it should. If you have a Macbook that doesn't have a disc drive, this is what you are looking for. The first time I purchased this item, I received a dud. It sounded like it was scratching the discs that I put in, and it had trouble reading. But this wasn't an issue as I returned it and got another that worked just fine. It would be five stars, but the usb connection is permanently attached to the drive. It would be preferable to have an option of different usb connections.

    Average feelings toward this CD/DVD drive; I enjoy Apple's sleek design with all its products, but not a fan of the price and incompatibility to older Mac models.

    I originally got this to go along with My 2017 macbook pro because I felt like it might come in handy at some point. Except I ended up returning it because in 2018 I personally feel that $80 is too much to spend on a CD drive unless you still have a ton of CDs and DVDs. There's a good chance I might find myself needing this in the future and if I do then I will probably have to purchase it again. To keep it simple only buy this accesory if you are certain you need it because $80 is a lot to spend on something just to have it in case.
