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.

    Had to buy since new Macs don't come with a disc drive. I guess with all the dependence on immediate downloads and cloud access for programs, the disc drive has become, if not obsolete, a bit 'old school'. Ok, maybe not everyone needs one but, does it really cost that much to add it on to the unit or do you really need to charge this much for the add-on? Such is life sometimes, I guess.

    My old iMac had a built-in disc drive, but my new one requires a separate one. It's the trade-off for a thinner machine.
