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.

    Best Buy's supervisor, Barbara, recommended that I consider the new MacPro iPad. I am so glad that I listened to her. The quality of the screen and the sound of music are incredible. I would strongly recommend anyone to purchase the Apple MacPro iPad.

    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!

    Apple - SuperDrive 8x External USB

    This device does what I needed and performs very well. However I would have liked it to come with a USB-C connection so that it would hook easily into other Apple Product without purchasing an adapter. You would have thought that Apple would have updated this device.

    Why go through the problem of going the Apple Store in the Mall when Best Buy is around the corner and with online ordering and in-store pickup what could be more convenient? And, competitive pricing on Apple products, what more needs to be said? Best Buy for Apple!

    Didn't realize Apple deleted optical drives from their lineup of new computers. This solves that problem and you can put it away when not in use. Works like a champ.

    We needed this CD player to download Senior pictures off of a photo CD that we purchased. It connected fast and was easy to use. We own a MAC and have learned it’s just easier to use Apple products.

    Returned it.......

    I needed a cd writer for my MacBook and decided that this was the one I wanted. I trust Apple's quality (most of the time) and liked that it would match with my Mac's aluminum chassis. Upon purchasing it, I found a few flaws. The first was that the USB cable did not disconnect from the back of the writer; it was built right in. While if you plan on leaving this connected to an iMac or desktop PC this shouldn't be a problem, for mobility I believe this will lead to ultimate failure. Chords break or loose connectivity and without the ability to replace a $1 chord, I believe I will be left with a pretty aluminum brick. I also didn't like that there was no eject button (but that was not a deal breaker). I ended up returning it and went with a different model. I later went to Apple's own website and people were far less kind than I when reviewing the writer. If mobility matters, keep looking.
