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.

    This product works right out of the box. It does not overheat like some other external DVD/CD-RWs. Well worth the extra cost.

    The short connector cord is definitely a draw back in this product; however, besides that the product performance is excellent.

    I am really enjoying this printer and it's ability to wirelessly connect with all our devices. I did have a bad print cartridge that came with the printer...required a service call to HP and shipment of a replacement.
