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 needed this because I burn movies, pics, etc. I hate that it the Pro didn't have this option built in, but had to purchase all the same. If you like doing photography stuff, movies, etc, this is a necessary addition to your Mac Book Pro.

    This is a beautiful addition to my iMac, it fits in perfectly on top of the iMac base and the brushed steel finish puts the cherry on the cake, I wish this was a Blue Ray Player so I could play some Blue Ray discs, I guess you can't have everything!

    We would never consider anything but Apple products at our location. We have been buying them for years and they never let us down. This newest one just keeps building off of Apple's commitment to make the best.

    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 spent $4000 on the latest i mac. Amazingly it doesn't have a DVD reader. Had to buy this add on or throw out 1000 DVDs I own. Just another effort to get us to pay monthly cloud storage fees. Don't you hate paying for ALL your movies each and every month?

    why did they remove optical drives?

    the superdrive itself I learned needs to be plugged directly into a USB port, not a hub. But I still wonder why they can't make optical drives built into the machines anymore. its now almost an extra $100 purchase just so you can install programs that aren't downloaded from the App Store. Hmmm, maybe that is the reason? they only want us to use the App Store and download things.
