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 device works great on my 27” iMac 5K, it’s all what you can expect from a superdrive but in a external form. The only problem is that it only works on devices that does not include a disc drive from factory, it didn’t work on my 13” macbook pro with a broken drive or in my mac mini without the internal drive. If you are looking to get this for a mac that used to have a disc drive, this will not work for you.

    Too Expensive for what it is, but its apple so what do you expect. Works just like a $20 external CD rom but apple branded. Slot loaders also give me anxiety. Will I ever see my cd rom again?? who knows!

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Glad I got the Apple brand for an external disk drive.I had to spend a little more, but I feel comfortable knowing I can count on Apple for excellent support of their products, since I've been using them for close to 30 years.

    After trying other drives that did not work, we settled on this one. It did the job, but it is a bit pricy.

    Ability to connect right to USB is easy. Ejecting is as simple as ejecting from Macbook desktop, with newer Macbook Air there is no keyboard eject key. No issues with disc insertion. Definitely easy to use and not have weight on your Macbook. This external accessory is much more user friendly.

    Read the box.. Its only for machine which did not originally come with a DVD drive. I took mine out and replaced it with a SSD drive. Then decided while on the road to purchase an external to use from time to time. Not happening.. so if you took your original out and need a replacement, get the LG.

    Being still in the early 2000's, I continue to burn dvd's. When I bought a new computer, I had to to get external DVD Drive. Being an iMac owner, this was the one to get. It works perfectly and its looks match my computer.

    Once I figured out that I had connected it upside down, it was simple to use. Upside down, the DVD/CD kept ejecting.

    I have not used it enough to really know if I like it. I recently purchased a new IMac and it did not have one built in anymore, which I think it should be, so in order to upload my CDs I had to purchase this at an additional cost of $80.00. I have used the product twice and it works fine.
