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.

    Easy plug 'n play straight out of the box. I was able to spin music/movie discs with ease. I paid extra to have MS Office for Mac discs. The super drive installed Office without a problem! Great solution, portable and it looks great too!

    This is another great Apple product, easy to set-up, plug and play. Got a great sale price and used my reward points. I recommend the Best Buy rewards program! I needed a drive for my new Mac and this one is a great drive.

    Love this product. I use it at least once a week. If you want the flexibility to watch/record DVDs on the latest 2016 MacBook Pro, then this is the product to buy.

    This product is truly a plug and play item. The iMac recognized the item and automatically allowed for the device to accept discs and activate them based on being data, music, or dvd without any additional actions on my part.

    Got this for my daughter who was leaving for college and has a Mac Air. I knew she would want to watch some of her DVD's so I purchased this drive for her. She has enjoyed having it so she can watch DVD's since her WiFi isn't the greatest.

    It's just like the built-in super drive I've had in all my prior macbooks. While I have no empirical data, it seems to be as fast and responsive as a built-in. That is to say, I didn't notice any significant slow down running over USB.

    This is an accessory I do not step out without. There are many instances when people have info on CD or need you to write it on media. This is a life saver. Its works quietly and is real fast.

    There's no eject button. When I got a disk stuck in there I had to use a paper clip to hold my forms together instead of my regular double-sided tape with the polka-dots. Apple usually makes good quality stuff so go for it.

    I have no complaints about this hardware. All you have to do is plug it into your computer and your ready to go. I love the fact that Macs are super slim now, but I wish that I didn't have to buy the external CD/DVD player separately.

    I found myself in a jam while on a deadline and needed a CD/DVD drive so I could install new software. It's great to have Apple hardware available locally when I need it. Plugged it in and of course it works perfectly.

    I would repurchase this product again, I'm annoyed that I have to carry it. But, I'm glad that is not built in. The light versatility of the laptop is great, I've only used it twice.

    The Apple USB Super Drive is a perfect match to my new Apple system. It has less moving parts than most DVD writers and is much easier to use. The Super Drive does it all for you.....

    Since the APPLE computer does not have a tower you have no way to back up important files. I also needed it to download my security for viral protection. Easy to use and very inexpensive in price to complement my APPLE computer.

    My laptop (macbook pro 15inch display) does not come with a disk (cd,dvd drive) so I purchased the apple superdrive. It is so easy to use and it makes it easy to transfer my music cd's onto my computer. I highly recommend this product.
