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.

    The USB SuperDrive supplies a usable drive for the MacAir. I wish it had a longer connector cord.

    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?

    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!

    Got it on sale for $59, decided to go with the name brand along with the geek squad protection, anything can go wrong, drop sumthing on it or malfunction, worth spending those extra few bucks i saved to have it covered.

    This was sold to be at Best Buy for my 2011 MacBook Pro. Got it home and it wouldn't work. Found out it won't work with 2011 MacBooks. Had to return it. I ended up getter no a Pioneer that also takes blue ray disks that is better than the Apple 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.

    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.

    I bought a drive from Ebay that was supposed to be an Apple Super Drive but was a copy (no labels). It crashed after 1 day. I got my money back & bought a real Apple Super Drive & have had no issues at all. It works fine!
