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 have some craft cds that I watch or get designs from on my computer. I was unable to do that since most new computers do not have built in CD players. I went to Best Buy, the associate showed me the one that was compatible with my computer, I bought it and took it home. I plugged it in and was able to view the things I needed.
