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 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.

    Yes there are cheaper external cd drives, but I went with a product I knew would be compatible right out the gate with my MacBook Air. Don't try save money on the cheaper models buy Apple.

    Based on looks it appeared the unit would have the black side with the apple logo facing up , however that is incorrect and after having the disc eject several times realized the unit was upside down. My bad! so far its working fine. Only time will tell.

    If you still buy cd's and other programs that come on an actual disc this is a must have. The only downside that I saw to the MacBook Air was that it didn't have a cd drive, but this was inexpensive and worth the buy. Works perfectly, no problems.

    We purchased this external USB SuperDrive to use with our new iMac 27" computer. Our older iMac 24" included the drive and we used it very often, so it was an easy decision to purchase the Apple SuperDrive for our new computer.

    Just another Apple component. Nice to have an Apple version but there are cheaper versions that do the same if not more then what this Apple Super Drive does

    I was not sure how I would like the external drive, but knew I would need one to add CDs to my iTunes library and project or watch videos. This does the job for both my MacBook and my iMac, so I only need one drive for the two computers.
