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.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    nice drive which I only used to load music, then off to the shelf it went. Perfect, Doesn't add unnecessary weight or size to the Mac Book Pro 13.3" w/Retina display that I purchased as well. It's a bit slow when importing CD's but that's not a deal killer. Price was right..

    For all those people who still need to use a disc from time to time you're going to need this. It's an apple so it functions well & the quality is superb!

    I purchased simply because I still enjoy a physical CD. Being that Apple has done away with drives in their MacBooks, this is essential for someone like me. Writes disc in a quick manner. Simple hook up with USB and it's a neat peripheral too.

    I have a Mac system and my newer Mac Airs do not have a CD/DVD slot. I know disks are rapidly becoming a thing of the past but I gave 10 years of storage on discs. Files, reports, photos etc.

    I bought this peripheral a few years ago and it's still going strong. Reads and burns CDs, CDRWs, DVDs etc with no trouble. Very satisfied with it.

    I recently bought a new MacBook Pro but it doesn't come with a DVD burner. I bought the Apple USB SuperDrive and it works great so far. I plugged it in and didn't have to do anything else. I haven't tried to burn a DVD yet but it shouldn't be a problem.

    I read poor reviews on this and still took a leap of faith. I’ve been ripping my cd collection to a hard drive. Ripped about 100 cds and no problems. I am going slow though not to burn it out.
