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.

    I went cheap at first with a Samsung DVD burner for burning DVDs with my new Retina iMac. Only was able to burn a couple of DVDs (not without problems even for those) before it completely stopped working! Decided to spend the extra bucks for the Apple SuperDrive and now burning DVDs without any problems so far! Leasson learned!

    I couldn’t get this drive to work on my 2023 MacBook Air. But, When I plugged it in to my 2020 I-mac this drive did exactly what it is supposed to do.

    I still like to own cds but my old macbook with a cd drive was not working and I had to upgrade to a pro so this came in super handy. I could have probably gotten a less expensive one I just personally like to have all of the same brand of products

    I purchased this for my 13" MacBook Pro 2020, model A2338. I didn't know "USB" meant standard USB-Type A, not a Type-C. You can get one of these regular USB CD/DVD drives at Walmart for a fraction of the cost, as well as the adapter for converting USB-A to USB-C, which luckily I already have, also from Best Buy. When I inserted my Transformers DVD into it, it took about 10 seconds and then spit the DVD right back out, basically making this completely useless. If anyone has suggestions for it to work, please let me know! Because watching a movie in bed is much easier with my 13" MacBook Pro than my heavy Alienware laptop! As for the good, yes, it does work. I popped in my Steelheart CD to test it, and it took a a few seconds to open up the Apple Music app to show the list of tracks, and I immediately thought, OMG this darn thing just ate my CD! LOL I am also very pleased that it is silver, which matches my MacBook Pro. Yes, I am OCD about dumb little things like that.
