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.

    This item is not worth the money of it. First you need to only buy regular DVDs, not blue ray.....secondly it is expensive and very disappointing of a Apple product to work so poorly

    Not worth the money I spent based off of the amount I use it. Partially my fault for not buying a laptop with a disk drive.

    I purchased this to salvage some old CD/DVD’s. One of the CDs got stuck but there was no way to eject it manually. Apple took out the manual “paper clip” pin hole. I had to take to Geek Squad and they plugged it into multiple machines and it finally ejected. It needs a strong power source. I have MacBook Pro 2018 but not enough power. Geek Squad replaced drive unit. I got a replacement but it only worked on latest iMac. A power hub won’t work. You need a one-on-one adapter USB-C to USB-2. I finally used it on my latest iMac and it worked fine.

    I bought this and then returned it. Why? Because the cord is way too short so it makes it very inconvenient to watch any DVDs. I have a PS3, so I didn't REALLLLLY need it, but I thought since my Macbook doesn't come with one, I'd buy it. I returned it after one use. Definitely not worth the money, unless it was wireless.

    I thought the drive sounded very noisy and it was a little slow when burning discs. I returned this product.

    I was reasonably satisfied with the drive. I had a couple of reading errors with it, but overall, a good product.

    An okay product but returned it since playing a dvd on Zoom isn’t allowed.

    There has been no upgrade at all to the Apple Super-Drive concurrent with state-of-the-art media. It cannot access 4D HD, nor can it play Blu-Ray discs without expensive add-ons from Apple. So, yes, the device works, but no better than it did ten years ago.

    I got six months of trouble free use and then it hiccuped and died. Apple can do better.

    Love the fact we can play two different movies at the same time. The picture quality could be a hit better.
