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.

    We bought this because as we're all alway optical drives are a thing of the past for most laptops. We bought because the fiance is in college and so every now and then there are CDs she need to plug in. Nothing spectacular but nice to have on hand.

    I'm not sure how much longer an item like this will be relevant in our high tech world. But, I love making "mix" CDs and it's a great way to copy home videos for the less tech savvy parents, etc. I love this disc drive!

    A necessary drive for smaller MacBooks that don’t have the space to have them built in. Works good.

    This is a high quality item that really holds up. I used cheaper non apple brands in the past but they usually break within a year.

    This 2 terabyte drive was quite a bargain! Setup was a snap and it's got plenty of space for my computer backups for quite some time.

    A great addition and price! Purchase a smaller GB mac and buy this to add on instead of spending the extra $$$ for a larger storage mac!

    The Super Drive 8x works fine. I bought this to replace one that had a disc stuck in it. But with my new Apple laptop, it won't work.

    I was a little surprised that these are not built into the system but the cost was very reasonable so I purchased the external CD/DVD drive.

    It’s made well, matches the Mac in appearance and does what’s it’s supposed to do. Two thumbs up.

    In terms of dead technology, there’s still reasons to have a CD player. However the built in cable, no button design is annoying to say the least. Not great. But when it’s necessary...it’s necessary.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
