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.

    I have purchased this product before with a older MacBook, but unfortunately I had to return it not because anything was wrong with it but simply because.... I didn’t really need it... the new MacBooks are great, and everything nowadays is downloadable.. so maybe next time!!

    The premium superdrive. Oh, yes, there are less expensive models, but sometimes I just don't want to worry about compatibility issues. And the quality of the product is undeniable.

    Used for tax software and burning photos on my MacBook Pro. Used a usb to usb-c adapter. Dragged one folder onto another and tax software was ready to use. Used a memory card adapter to load to desktop. Clicked on icon and selected burn. Inserted a blank disk and was all set.

    Now that most computers do not come with an internal dvd, cd, rw drive you may have to buy an external one if you need or want it, for downloading things (like my printer), or reading other discs. This one goes with my MAC and it works just fine.

    This is a solid piece of tech, with high-quality construction and sleek appearance. The slot-loading was a must for my work area, as tray loading is a pain. I don't think optical drives are anywhere near obsolete and resent slightly that this had to be an added expense to my new iMac. I still like to have hard copies of my software, and audio/ visual media and bought this. It's a little loud in comparison with the ultra-quiet computers but nothing that is bothersome. Easy to set up.

    I got a new iMac which has no disc drive init. With a great many CD-ROMs of historical research and maps, I needed a good drive for them. I researched many and decided on this unit. I am highly satisfied with it. It connected quickly and does the job nicely and efficiently.

    After purchasing an LG to use with my Mac, I realized you get what you pay for. Yes, this one cost more, but sooooo much better. You plug it in and go. Software is already on your Mac. I haven't burned a DVD yet so I'm not sure how well that works. But playing a DVD is perfect.

    I recently purchased the new MacBook Pro 2016 80 1707 and bought this DVD drive as a supplement just in case I needed it although I haven't had to use it yet I'm glad that I was able to find it in an open box model it's always good to have even though you don't know when you'll Need it

    I purchased this shortly after I bought my first Apple computer (Imac). I felt it would be necessary to have this since the IMac did not include a disk drive. So far, I've used it to watch a movie and save music from my cds. It works great and I'm sure it will come in use in the future.

    We recently purchased a new Mac desktop (first-time Mac owners!) and had absolutely no idea that there was no DVD/CD drive! So we quickly went online and found this gem - it arrived right away and is easy to hook up - just plug it in and it's ready to go. Very lightweight and portable - great purchase.

    I purchased an iMac and couldn't live without a disc drive. I have been able to digitize my old CDs and it's great if you want to play DVDs, create CDs, etc. It also fits nicely on the monitor stand.

    The drive on my desktop computer died years ago. I bought a cheap replacement, and it of course only worked for a short period of time. This time I bought the Mac version which is working like a charm. You get what you pay for.

    This is my first external dvd drive which is easy to hookup. Just plug it in and voila. I only used it once to install software and it worked fine. I have not burned any dvd’s Yet, but I do not expect any difficulty. It’s slim and contemporary and well built.

    I have a MacBook Pro and as is with most computers today there is no disc drive. I plugged it in with no setup and started burning CD's for my wife. It was as if it was already an original part of the computer. No downloading of drives. You pay more but you get the quality you expect from Apple.

    Great inexpensive, simple replacement for a failing internal SuperDrive on my iMac. Though advertised as working only with Macs without a drive, found a workaround on the support site that allows me to use it as a second drive. Does a great job!
