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 love having the removable disk drive for my MacBook Air. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is I wish the connector cable could be disconnected from the disk drive so it was easier to pack.
