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.

    Though the new Mac Book doesn't come with a CDRW/DVDRW, the need for one still is required. This is a great drive to meet that need.

    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.

    When I first plugged it in, my iMac didn't recognize it. I tried a few different cords then restarted my iMac and it's worked great since.

    I understand that Apple is moving to lighter, thinner laptops. This is a good solution and works great, but it always stays home.
