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.

    It goes with the look of the desk top, more expensive than it has to be. It works like I expected ...

    After doing research for an optical drive for my iMac I decided to go with the SuperDrive. At first i did not want to go with this optical drive i was looking at cheaper drives but after reading all the reviews and knowing the reliability of Apple products is what sold me on the more expensive drive.

    The Apple super drive enables use of disk input into any new laptop or desk unit. Comes with UPS cable.

    I gave this 4 stars primarily because of an issue with Apple and the fact that they can't resolve it. The drive works well but will not work without rebooting the machine. It is supposed to be hot swappable but no go for me. Have talked to Apple 3 times at length and finally was told the issue was unusual and they would have thier programmers get back to me...... 2 months ago. no response on emails or any kind of update. bummer.

    I wasn't. sure this item would be what I needed, but after my purchase and the plug/play feature of the device I was excited. The Apple USB SuperDrive has been great. I'm new with Apple products and was very happy I was able to purchase this additional piece of equipment.

    As an Apple product, this drive is pretty stellar. The only thing keeping me from giving it a full 5 stars is the fact that it doesn't work with older Macs nor does it work with any Mac that has an optical drive on it already. While I use mine for a new MBP, i was hoping to use it with my older iMac that has a bad SuperDrive. Also, I wish the USB cable was a little longer just so I could place it out of the way.

    Great addition to the MacBook Air

    This is a great addition to my MacBook Air. When you need a DVD Writer this works well. The power cord is a little short, but that is just a little issue. It fits well in my Case and adds very little weight to carry around. Overall, I like it, has a great look and defiantly looks like an apple product.

    I bought this for my new Apple desk top and love it. If I had only one complaint it would be that I just could not figure out how to eject my disk from it and nowhere on packaging or anything that comes with it does it tell you how. You do it online I found out eventually on yr PC

    Be sure you get this one.The sales person kept trying to sell me a different one because he was "sure" it would work. Also be sure you put the black side with the apple logo on the down side. Otherwise it will not work. I almost took it back before I found that tip online.
