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.

    A necessity for iMac

    The installation process was as simple as plug and play. I only wish that Apple would include CD drives in their iMacs so that such a purchase is not necessary.

    Hey what can I say. This drive does what it is supposed to do. I tried burning a couple of CD's from iTunes playlists, so for me it works as intended.

    Since most computers don't have cd drives anymore I had to buy this. It works great and looks pretty good compared to others. I would recommend it to others.

    Super fast at writing CDs on my MacBook pro. I didn't like how the drive was external at first, but it makes for a lighter computer in the end.

    Purchased a new Macbook and come to find out none of the newer models have a cd drive built in. Mine is still in the packaging and I have yet to use it. I guess thats why its not built in. Just bought it because I knew if I didn't, I'd need it and not have it.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    The drive looks nice, but uses a usb port which there aren't enough on the computer, doesn't always eject some cds with the eject button on the keyboard. there is no eject button on the device. works okay.

    While I wished this was built in to the MacBook Air it would increase the weight. Has held up well so far for the two laptops purchased for my teenagers.

    It does the job it is supposed to do. I believe it is just another way for Apple to make money instead of installing a CD drive in their laptops.

    Well designed (naturally it's from Apple). A must have item with any new Mac, since Apple eliminated the optical drives from their recent product line.
