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.

    The connection on this item is a usb connector which makes no sense since the new laptops do not have any USB ports. You need to purchase and additional adapter to connect to the laptop to use a USB port to use the external cd drive. It’s very over priced. It wouldn’t read my dvd it made you select a country of origin and which I did and wouldn’t work. Not compatible with some DVD’s it wasn’t allowing it to work with my new apple laptop. Such a headache. It’s very bulky and heavy. Don’t buy it get a less expensive one it will still work. Even Geek squad had issues.

    Good product but you cannot connect it to HyperDrive - USB Type-C Hub. You must use a standard USB-C.

    This was my second CD/DVD player in less than 2 weeks. I should have purchased the Apple CD/DVD drive first then I would not have had any problems.

    I still use CDs and DVDs so I needed this superdrive. It is unfortunate that the newer computers don't include built-in CD/DVD drive, but this solves the problem.

    In my estimation you can always rely on Apple products for quality and long-term value. Their support is second to none. I highly recommend this and other Apple products.

    Don't use a CD very often, but when I do, the external superdrive is easy to use. Right out of the box, I plugged the unit in and was able to download some pictures to the CD without problems.

    A little expensive for a drive but so much more reliable than the cheaper ones. I use Apple everything so I prefer Apple brand for the quality and service.

    After trying an off brand drive and being extremely disappointed I decided to go with the SuperDrive. I am so glad I made the investment. It reads and writes disks very fast and is very durable.

    The SuperDrive works fabulously, but make sure yours is working before you take it home! These boxes tend to get dropped a lot by people. My first one was defective and wouldn't mount anything. But once I swapped it out for a working one- it was to my expectations.

    The hidden enclave took some getting used to, but there is something magical about watching CDs or DVDs "disappear" and "reappear" automatically, I can't imagine using a manual drive ever again!

    I bought the SuperDrive for my MacBook Pro and it works extremely well. If you are having trouble getting the DVD, all you need to do is drag the disk icon from your desktop to the trash bin!

    I bought it to burn DVDs. I have only burned a few but it has worked fine for me. I'm using it on a 2017 iMac with OS X 10.14.5. Installation was easy.

    Had a previous universal type at a lower price and it was not working reliably. This specific Apple branded type works everytime with no problems, abit more costlier.

    Just what I needed. Plugged it in and started burning DVD's and CD's. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to preserve movies and audios.
