Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Apple SuperDrive 8x External USB Double-Layer Dvd±rw/CD-RW Drive has been a great choice for use with my MacBook Pro. It performs extremely well, is flexibile for various uses, and its small size makes it easily portable.

Amazing! Love it. I wasn't sure if it was going to be more of a nuisance to have to keep attaching and detaching. But it actually is small and slender enough to keep plugged in when transporting and with desk top use even better.

Works awesome. So glad we got this. We've been wanting to get one for a while. Does a brilliant job!

Great speed, easy setup right out of the box . This drive is awesome.

I bought this a few months ago and it works exactly as expected. It is just plug and go, so it is very easy to use. I have it paired with a MacBook Air. So far I have only used it to put CDs onto my computer but it works perfectly.

It’s by Apple. Therefore, it is overpriced. But since it is by Apple, it works perfectly. Gets the job done.

My husband has one of these and we love it. I bought one for my laptop so that when I travel, I don't have to take his in case he needs to use his. I just wish the cord was a little longer (as usual with Apple).

I bought this drive to use with my iMac. It has been wonderful, user friendly and durable. I was torn between this and a "non-Mac" product based on other reviews I read, but I am ready happy I went with this one.

Easy to use just plug into a usb connection on a computer and its ready to go I used it to upload some cds into iTunes and the speed is really fast I couldn’t believe how fast

It has the solid feel you expect from an Apple product. Works quite well, although the latest Mac OS has some twerkish behavior recognizing the drive (needed to restart with the drive plugged in, unusual for a Mac).

I don't like that I can't get a built in cd/DVD drive anymore. This external drive is a great unit. Have to get a separate carrying case tho as I travel with dvds. At least I can use it on multiple computers.

This standard external Apple cd/dvd drive that would help you if you don’t have an I reheated u it in your Mac/PC. Is also windows compatible

This slim DVD/CD RW drive works as expected. It is about 1/4 the size of the one it replaced. I have many photos saved to disc and this drive keeps them alive!

This is a pretty straight forward device. No switches or buttons; just slide a disk in and off you go. At $80 there are less expensive units available, however, none as sleek and portable as this unit. The "Apple" aluminum finish looks awesome as all Apple products do. The unit runs off of USB power connected to your computer, so you need not carry an external power supply around if you are using this as a portable. Just slide it into your laptop case and off you go. Less wire, less mess. The only downside I can think of is it requires higher voltage than is typically supplied through USB ports. Therefore, this unit must be connected directly to your Laptop for proper voltage supply. It will not run on an external USB hub. So, I recommend a USB extension cable Type A male-Type A female to give you extra cable length in case you desire or need to place the Superdrive on the opposite side of your desk. The built in cable is only around 14" long. Aside from these two minor issues, this is a fantastic drive.

I felt this was the best product for a mini-mac, fits the need just five. Sure I could have made a different purchase, but this one simply works when connected like any other apple product made for an apple product.

I bought this because I was using a new iMac and putting together a video presentation that I wanted to make copies for others. The Superdrive set up by just plugging in the USB and away it went. It worked flawlessly.

works great. this is my 3rd one i bought, my dog keeps eating them. it's hard to find in store, i had to order online. my only suggestion is to stock them more in stores, my watch is dead by the time it is shipped.

i bought this for my brother and i think i love it more than him. its super fast..it downloads faster than my macbook pro..i love the drive and i would buy another one and would recommend this product if you have a mac without a drive..

The drive is small and compact and built out of aluminum. It does a good job of working as an optical drive for the times when I need an optical drive. If you need a optical drive for your Mac this one works well.

Slim design can fit anywhere on your desk. Takes up only one usb port. Works as it should Apple quality and craftsmanship
