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. A minor drawback mentioned is the lack of a physical eject button and a short power cord.

    I haven't been able to successfully copy a DVD. I have looked on-line for instructions to no avail. Need an instruction manual before I waste any more blank DVD-Rs.

    Our cashed printer and first time to purchase ink. Very expensive but hope it lasts longer than the previous printer ink. Looking for better quality on printing pictures also.

    I wanted to stick with Apple brand products (and paid the Apple premium) but this one felt and sounded cheaply made when I used it. Other that that, the unit works fine.

    Returned this item. You can get a much better external at this price point. Only mac drones should buy this so it matches their other desktop motif.

    It was good to have but then I realized that I really didn't need it since everything is pretty much uploaded online. It ducks the Macbook didn't have it built in though.

    I got it then return it because most software come with online downloading. But it you love movies then buy it because that's the only way you can watch DVDs

    I purchased this product in order to burn CDs. It does its job, but it is extremely slow. Would still recommend simply because it performs the task I need it for.

    For the price they had it for I expected it to work but it didn't so I had to return it and got a product online for a way better price that actually worked.

    I went with this drive rather than a cheaper off brand because I figured it would work, since it is made by Apple. I throw away 1 out of every 3 CD/DVDs I write due to Write Failures.

    The drive works just fine, but I shouldn't have to buy it for my new iMac. One should have been built in or included with the sale.

    Granted, I only used this twice, once just to read a disc, the 2nd time to burn. Both times the drive was very loud when scanning the disc. Besides that, works great and fast.

    This device is attractive and performs well, but is not compatible with non-Apple devices and is not that user friendly, since it does not have an eject button.

    Seamless integration with Apple computers but this won't work with other brands. USB cord was a little short if you're trying to connect to the back of the iMac.
