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 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.

    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

    I recently bought a MacBook Air and didn't think I needed a CD drive but I was wrong. Went to Best Buy to pick this item up and I love it. Now my laptop has a CD Drive and when I'm done I store it away and my laptop is as light as air. Thanks Best Buy!

    The drive works fine. I'm still cranky with Apple for eliminating the internal optical drive from the Macbook Pro. I frequently need to burn/read DVD's, and this feels like a step back to the old days of having to carry a bag full of peripherals around.

    Excellent, it works great with my Macbook Pro. Only thing is that you have to plug it directly into a port. It will not work if you connect it through a multiport adapter.

    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.

    The SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer Dvd±rw/CD-RW Drive by Apple is the best DVD drive I have used. It reads older DVD and CD disks that I thought were dead because they were not accessible through other drives that I have on PCs.

    This external drive goes great with those who have a MacBook Air and are looking to connect any kind of CDs. The USB connection is simple and does not require any work to connect.

    I replaced an LG DVD/CD drive with the Apple Superdrive for my IMac desktop as the LG's audio recordings were flat and sounded like it was monaural. The Apple drive's sound was a great improvement, and the extra cost was worth it.

    As all Apple products this one has a crisp clean look and does just what it is intended to do. Works with my iMac when I need to use a cd or dvd.

    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.
