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.

    I was ecstatic to finally buy my SuperDrive but wish that Apple could find a way to combine flash drive and disc drive so consumers like US can afford their products without going broke buying each accessory.

    Not sure I like having to hook it into my laptop when I need to use a disk. Also confusing on how to eject the disk. Have had to google it and still can't remember. It works well though, no problems other then that.
