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 purchased this drive as part of my new iMac. I still record a lot of music that I download and this drive is just what I need. It has worked fine without any problems. The price was right and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. I don't have any reservations about recommending this product.

    In changing from a PC with DVDs easy to watch and burn, I was initially disappointed that the IMac did not come with this capacity. However this makes it possible again.

    Works perfectly. Love that the CD loads like a car CD player rather than having a tray. Have used for about a year with no problems.

    I had to go with apple when I was selecting a disc drive. There were a few other options but the feel of this drive was alot more solid feeling than the others.

    DVD or CD drives may be archaic to today's computer equipment but if you don't have one you'll surely need one! Apple builds the best and Best Buy sells quality equipment at reasonable prices.

    Had to settle on this product because I originally wanted a Blu-Ray drive for my MacBook but all of the drives do not include the software. The software is another $20-30 on top of the price of the drive, so I just bought this instead until Apple finally creates an update or a new drive that plays Blu-Rays.

    I use this for uploading all of the old CDs I have bought in the past. It also was a must have for the language program I have bought and never started to utilize. No excuses now. Caio.

    So far havn't noticed anything extra ordinary about it but its been working fine... Its almost mandatory to buy this I guess when you buy an iMac. (if you need to install software from Cd's)

    There is no difference between the Apple product and any other exterenal disc player. Cost double and does nothing new.

    I liked the product and had borrowed one from a friend to use with my MacBook Pro. I was told by the salesman that this product would work with both PCs and my MacBook. That was not the case. It did not work with my wife's new Toshiba notebook. I returned it for a similar LG model that works with both.

    My daughter needed this for her computer because it doesn't have a CD drive. It works well and makes her job easier instead of having to go to the library everytime she needs to use a CD.
