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 bit price for a cd drive, but as to be expected with Apple no complaints so far.

    So I bought a MacBook Pro & didn't even realize that I didn't have a CD /DVD player. So I had to buy an external one. I was very pleased to learn that it was on sale and that I could use my Best Buy points towards it, so it was a pretty sweet deal!

    It's a great supplement for our iMac. I was a little discouraged that the iMac didn't come with a disc drive until I did research. Considering the issues involved with having an internal drive, I was glad to pay for the add on. It operates quietly and effectively.

    I have had one of these at home for my Mac-Mini and it's always been reliable. Recently the internal CD drive in my MacBook Pro ceased working so I bought another one to use instead of getting the MacBook repaired. However, if your mac has an internal drive, this external unit will not function...who would have known. But the drive itself is great.

    Bought this for my wife to use on her Macbook Air. I looked at the other cheaper units available but got concerned about noise and reliability. I ended up spending the extra few dollars on this one knowing that it will work just like her Macbook and have not regretted it!
