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.

    Apple should include an external drive with purchase of MacBook Pro but they do not. Then, when you buy their SuperDrive, they don't include a USB-c to USB adapter so you can use it with a MacBook Pro! Pretty lame. Best Buy staff did not realize this either necessitating a second trip to the store to get one.

    Works well, but the sound is not remarkable.

    Easy to install, Blue Tooth works great off the tablet to stream internet radio (main reason we got it), but the sound is not all that special.

    The overall product was slightly difficult to install. Had to try several times before completing it. The dash board would not install properly.

    I have no complaints other than I had to buy the drive at all. I would have preferred the option of getting my iMac with a built-in.

    It's a cheap option but really who uses cds anyway? But if you have old ones, not the best reader.

    Great add on for mac products Do wish there were non proprietary options to go with. Outside of that issue it’s a nice product.

    Apples new MacBook Pro only has USB -C connections. Other than that it works fine as long as you have an adapter.
