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.

    The drive plugs in very easily and has a secure connection. There were no problems getting the computer to recognize this peripheral. If you have an Apple laptop you are going to need this peripheral eventually.

    If you need to see pictures on a cd or dvd, or load software or something else from those formats, this is worth having to plug into a newer Mac that has no cd or dvd drive. Well worth having.

    As with all Apple products this too is truly plug and play. I purchased for use with my MacBook Air. The Air has no optical drive and this is the only option to add one I know of. Plugged it in and it worked as I expected.

    This product makes importing optically stored files accessible on the MacBook Pro since it has no built in capability. The read/write speeds are sufficiently fast and the plug and play (compatibility) is a real plus.

    This device has been absolutely great. It’s so nice that it is portable so I can use it at work and at home. I burned a DVD for my grandmother’s wake and funeral last week and it turned out perfectly.

    The DVD drive is compact and small but it needs an eject button on it. I would have preferred it to be part of the actual Mac desk top. It should have been part of the package. I was told that it was when I purchased the Mac.

    Works like any other DVD/CD reader/burner. I had to get an Apple USB cable though to connect it to the USB C port. The drive didn’t work with a Hyperdrive 9 port USB-C Hub.

    needs adaptor for MacBook Pro

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Works great, easy to use. I needed an Apple USB-c to USB adaptor to work, since my computer doesn't have a USB plug. I had another brand adaptor, but it didn't work, had to be the apple brand. The apple brand adaptor is around $20, not a big deal, but just another small little accessory to misplace.

    Being an Apple fan I decided to go with this when I needed an external drive. It's a plug and play device and works well with my MacBook Air. Non Apple devices may work as well at lower cost, but so far this has worked well.

    Since my MacBook does not have a disc drive it only made sense that I purchased this. Although I would’ve liked for this to be built into my laptop, it works great and I have no complaints.

    I bought this for my iMac and was expected to have to go through an entire install process but I was pleasantly surprised. All you do is plug it into the USB drive on the back of the computer and it instantly works.

    After trying DVD drives by their competitors I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this was to use. The epitome of plug and play. Apple gets it. And, that's why my next computer purchase will be from them.

    Super is the device works without a problem.I have had this drive for a month and have had no problems with it on my Mac Pro. The only thing I also agree with those who have expressed concern regarding the lack of a good old fashioned disk ejection mechanism.

    We bought a new Mac after our old one finally became about 10 years old and obsolete the latest generation Mac. When paired with the CD/DVD ROM drive it is perfect! we love it and will never look back.
