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.

    What else can I say besides its an Apple Product. I have seen people not giving this 5 stars. I don't understand. What do they expect, It can't cook breakfast and it doesn't wash windows. Come on folks, its an Apple drive that does exactly what its supposed to do.
