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.

    This external dvd drive is just what I needed. It is easy to install and use. If someone has to have an external dvd drive this is the one I would recommend.

    Overall the product met its specifications. The only problem I have with it is that computer must be restarted before its use. It just will not accept the CD/DVD unless the computer is restarted. Otherwise it performs as stated.

    Elegant CD-DVD drive that fits right on the base of your iMac. Essential now that these drives aren't built into computers anymore.

    A little overpriced compared to other brands but the quality seems to be worth the upcharge. Especially if it's a Mac. It just works.

    My new MacBook doesn't have an optical drive included so this was necessary for the work I do. Does the job, but a little annoying, having to remember another piece of hardware.

    The drive does exactly what I want it to do. I needed a CD burner for music. The only frustration I had was I had to learn the keystrokes on the keyboard first.

    I bought a new IMac and it did not have a CD/DVD Drive so I looked at reviews and decided on this one. Quality is pretty good, I would definitely recommend it for the money.

    OK, why sell this product that has to connect to my new Mac via a USB port when the Mac needs the newer connection?

    Works great once I got it set up. They should have more instructions on install. You would think the Apple logo would be on top, but it needs to be on the bottom for it to work.

    Very reliable disk drive for any Mac. For newer Mac's, that support USB-C, you will have to adapter, which you can find elsewhere.
