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.

    Rated average based on the need to utilize an external dvd/cd drive to upload dvd/cd's versus building in an internal drive on my IMAC.

    The all in one MAC I purchased does not come with a cd/dvd drive so I purchased this separately. It runs well and the speed at which it reads and writes is great. Not a bad buy for the price.

    The super drive works well if you have a computer without a built in DVD/cd drive. It is portable but not convenient to drag it around and plug it in, and on the heavy side.
