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.

    Having the CD drive was a requirement for me, only because I use that drive often. Love this product!

    Previous Apple computers had the CD player built in, but apparently not the case anymore, so this was a necessary purchase...I have an extensive collection and needed the option of being able to play them It works great

    Did not realize that my MacBook Pro did not come with a CD-ROM. I bought this and the price was reasonable for an original Apple product. You need this if you're going to add your own CD''s to your iTunes library.

    I like how small it is, and there is really NO setup, just plug it into the USB port. Sometimes though, it seems to "forget" there is a disk inside and I have to jump through hoops to get the disk to eject. Also, there weren't really what I would call directions with it to explain anything.

    I have a MacBook Air, so this SuperDrive was a must to install certain software that is on discs or to watch DVDs, burn CDs, or listen to CDs. The SuperDrive is light weight to carry around in addition to my computer. Love it.

    My Mac is a newer version that didn't have a DVD port so I've been looking for a DVD player to connect to it. This DVD player is everything I expected it to be!

    Easy and portable to use. A must have item. Also helps having the connector cord attached to drive instead of keeping it separate. That way it doesn't get lost.

    The Geek squad were very polite and helped me to set up the proper programs. I was so happy because they explained and even highlighted the instructional book for me. I shook their hands and thanked them for all their work.

    Having a separate drive allow splitting the weight of all the electronics when traveling and lets us choose whether to leave the device at home or bring it along.

    This device handles all-comers, DVDs, CDs, and BluRays. Apple reliability, looks and functionality are all there. You need one of these to take best advantage of disk-based media. You won't be sorry.

    A basic necessity for an iMac

    This is of course a great quality item, I'm just bothered by the fact that it has to be purchased as an extra item to use with the iMac, rather than it being included. USB drives & connections may be the way of the future but CDs/DVDs are still very much present today! That's why I give it 4 stars not 5! Other than that it's a great quality item.
