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.

  • External Drive needed on most new laptops today

    I needed an external drive because all of the laptops I looked at to purchase did not have a CD/DVD drive in them. This drive was recommended to me because it has its own power supply and that is important if the user wants to burn videos. This was hard to find at the store because most store salespeople did not know anything about whether a power supply was included or not.
