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.

    I bought the external CD/DVD drive as I don't use these items in my laptop enough to warrant buying another laptop with one built in. My other MacBook Pro has one built in I can use at any time. I like the fact that without it, the laptop is much lighter.

    This thing is a must if you have a any of the newer apples. I don't know why they are getting rid of the CD drives on their computers. We do a lot of pictures and still have a bunch on CDs so we needed this thing. Works great.

    Amazing product! Would recommend getting a computer without a disc drive and buying one of these! You save money and you don't have the extra weight of it every time you carry your computer!

    however, it was hard to figure out how to use it. As a PC user for so many years, I have found the MAC BOOK and external drive difficult to use..couldn't figure out how to make the computer read the disc. Having said that, I realize that the reason I bought the MAC products is their quality of construction.

    This is something you will find as a NEED not just a want. With everything being reduced in size we find ourselves having to reach back unless you plan on increasing your hardrive space.

    I wish Apple would have continued to offer one standard in my new iMac, but they don't. So here I had to buy one. I could have gone with any brand, but I have to admit it, this one looks as good as all of my mac products. so there you go...

    Bought the drive to replace mine that “I thought it wasn’t working”. Come to find out the program I was using wasn’t processing correctly due to an update.

    IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT WHEN WE BOUGHT THE "NEWER" VERSION OF THE SAME MAC PURCHASED 2 YEARS AGO - THAT THEY CHANGE STUFF JUST TO MAKE IT THINNER. SO YOU GAIN A THINNER COMPUTER, BUT NOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THE EXTRA EQUIPMENT. NOT SURE IT'S ALWAYS WORTH IT

    Every laptop I have ever owned came with a built in optical drive.It is very hard to find one now.All of the new laptops that I looked at do not have a built in optical drive.I bought the Apple super drive and so far it works great.

    A super drive to let you retrieve all your old off-line files with your new Mac. It comforts my wife that she could do this even though all that stuff has been stored up in the iCloud for over a year. Quiet comfort is my goal.
