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.

    The super drive has been a great addition to my iMac. It has allowed me to upload CDs/music to iTunes. The only problem that I have encoundered was once when a cd I entered started to skip, and the drive wouldn't eject the cd. After a little time, maaybe 10 min or so, the drive allowed me to eject the disk and continue uploading. I think it's a great addition to an iMac, allowing expanded capabilities.
