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.

    Since recent Macs do not have an optical drive, this external drive is a necessary accessory. It "just works".

    Optic drive is a sleek, low profile and quiet. Provides a vivid picture. Awesome addition to my Apple laptop.

    Its nice to have something like plug and play drive because most of the new MacBooks don't have a cd drive.

    This USB drive is too expensive. It is not simple to use and it will not always release the inserted disc. It is a huge problem when the disc gets stuck as there is no reject button.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

  • Solid product works like expected

    Like most Apple products the usb drive works well. It also compliments my other apple products nicely on my desk. Although you can buy basically the same thing for half the price from a different manufacturer.

    I bought this for my MacBook Pro as it doesn't have a built in one. It works great. You do, however, need a USB-C to USB adapter to connect to the computer or you won't get power.

    Newer Mac laptops don't have a disc drive, so this portable drive plays and burns dvds and cdrws
