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.

    Purchased this external SuperDrive when my internal one stopped working. Rather than. Spending a fortune to replace it. This was a quick fix at a great price.

    Great laptop. I was reluctant to switch from PCs. Now I wish I had made the switch sooner. All Microsoft Office products work well. Laptop is instantly ready to use. Integration with iPhone and iPad are easy and useful. Got a great price on an open box.

    It took me a little bit to figure out how to eject a DVD, but that was me getting used to my MacBook. It's nice to have if, like myself, you have kids and a lot of DVD's.

    This is needed if you wish to use any type of CD for the iMAC. It is also a burner itself so that is very helpful. Its lightweight and makes a great addition.

    (good idea) instead of having it built in the computer, if it ever breaks i don't need to bring my computer in to get fixed !!! a lot easer to get a new one

    There are still reasons to have a drive and being an Apple loyalist, this is the only way to go. Works great and is well built.
