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.

    Sleek basic External drive

    This is sleek and elegant, yet as basic as it comes. Be forewarned: the drive does not "grab" your disc. You have to push your CD into the drive most of the way before it pulls it in. I actually returned this drive at first because I thought it was broken! Works fine and reads discs great. Perfect for ripping your CD collection into iTunes.

    Works seemlessly with my mac mini. Does not work as well as the drive in my pc for getting music off my cds.

    The super drive works flawlessly with my MacBook. The only issues is making sure that you have the correct adapter if you are using the new MacBooks with the USBC ports

    I was in the store with no clue as to what I needed and by the time I walked out I was more than confident that I would have what I needed and how to set it up.

    This is honestly the best drive that I have ever had for a mac product both internal and external. The drive is smooth and fluid with both reading and writing. It is just super.

    Awesome drive! Connects directly to Macbook Air and can connect to Mac-mini with an Apple USB adaptor (all available at Best Buy). If you are thinking about it, don't wait...Apple has a habit of discontinuing things we like.

    Still Need My DVD Player

    I think it's interesting that MacBooks are no loner made with the Super Drive. It seems that this technology is becoming out-of-date even though I still use them regularly. It's quite durable, sometimes bulky, but a quality accessory for anyone that still needs/uses a Super Drive!

    Best Buy makes it so easy, I can't praise them enough for the efforts they put forth during this pandemic. It takes a lot of work and coordination to do what you do and I want you to know that I appreciate it.

    The superdrive is really quite necessary now that so many laptops do not have built in drives. I create DVD's of movies and photos for clients/friends with material just too large to handle with email -- and you know the disc is going to last and not accidentally get deleted.
