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.

    Good - EXCEPT that every once in awhile a cd gets "stuck" and it's quite frustrating as to how to get it out. There is no emergency button for such a problem should it occur as in other devices I've had. I ruined my first one, but used my second one more smartly.

    Drives add a lot of weight and girth to a computer, and these days, they are rarely used. Buy a MacBook Air and have this around for those rare occasions when it might be needed.

    I wanted an external drive for my new Mac Computer. It works great and is fast. I love it! I could have bought a more inexpensive one but wanted the one that works best with Apple products.

    I was a bit mad when apple stopped including the dvd drives with their computers, but it's so convenient being able to use this with both my macbooks without having to even take my movie out!

    I had purchased one for my other iMac. At first I thought well I already own one. But always good to have a spare. Great price as well.

    It's too bad Apple computers no longer have super drives but that said, this drive works exactly the way it was intended. It shows up instantly, operates quickly and flawlessly. Reads and writes fast.

    Not having a CD/DVD drive may help with weight and size but left the Macbook without a level of functionality that was sorely missed. Adding this peripheral has been of great benefit.

    My build-in DVD from laptop stopped working so I purchased an external USB DVD RW Drive. It works well and it's reasonably priced. I'm happy with the product.

    I previously purchased an off brand drive and didn’t like the performance. I purchased this Apple drive because my experience with Apple has always been great!

    I just purchased a new Mac Book Pro and realized it didn't have a CD drive. I had just purchased Rosetta Stone and needed to load the CD's into my computer. Love this portable drive. Plug in and go!

    Worked very nicely once I got the correct usb-c digital adaptor. Tried with the Insignia one and kept telling me device needed power. Once I got the apple adaptor , worked immediately.

    Having used a pc for burning often, this was my first device to attach to a mac. Using it to import physical CD collection and the burn time seems much longer than it was on a PC. Otherwise excellent product just realize you are paying for the Apple name with a good portion of the cost.
