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 a MacBook Pro for my daughter who HAD to have a drive for her SIMS game. This is a flexible alternative since the current MacBooks are not being built with internal drives. The good news is it's your typical great Apple construction!

    I was hesitant about purchasing a MacBook Pro that doesn't come equipped with a DVD player like my older one does. But I went ahead and did it but bought the external player to go with it. It seems to work just fine, no problems so far.

    I owned a previous SuperDrive. It somehow got tossed out with the trash. Therefore this is a replacement for that one. Excellent drive. Don't know if this works with other than a Mac but recommend it if you have a Mac.

    Typical cd rom drive. Bought it for my MacBook Pro to use with the small cd's but it will not allow you to use the small cd's and they get stuck in the unit and ruin it. But can be used for regular cd's. I bought a cheap one on eBay to use for small cd's and it works just as good as this more expensive one.

    Yes, Apple products may cost a little more than others but their products are worth it by themselves but once you realize Apple's employees are empowered to do what's right for their clients is the main reason I purchase them.

    Given that new laptops getting smaller and simplified, as light as they get, some old school features were eliminated. For you to copy old school stuff, you need a reliable old school device.

    Purchased this for my 2014 MBP Retna. Does the trick and will be able to "grow" with me into new devices. A must have accessory for newer Apple products if you are in an industry where things still come on CDs.
