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.

    It works well for using discs on Mac except you have to push it in pretty far before it inserts it and reads it. You almost feel like you’re jamming the thing sometimes.

    However I never was able to use it as it was not compatible with our laptop as initially thought. It was well built but we returned it for the proper external drive that was compatible.

    No major complaints but for the price I expected it to be faster and also it has had trouble ejecting a disc on a couple of occasions after the computer had gone to sleep. Not sure if this is just a coincidence or if it will be ongoing.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
