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.

    Apple never disappoints me. I took the SuperDrive out of the box, plugged it in to my MacBook Pro and that is all I had to do.

    We wanted to find a laptop that "just works" right out of the box for my 86 year old mother. The MacBook Air met that requirement.
