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 purchased this disk drive for my Mac book. So far it has worked very well with no problems. I thought about purchasing something cheaper but I wanted to stick with the Apple product.

    Well like the title suggests this product works as advertised. I have had mine going on 5 months, since the MackBook pro I purchased for this last semester didn't come with a disc drive I purchased the apple SuperDrive. I haven't had any issues with it expcept I would have liked to see Apple support blue ray which this product does not.

    When I was looking at Mac books I wanted everything I had on my PC. There is no built in dvd player on this particular model but this is the one I wanted. So this added the that function and is compact and easy to use

    I honestly like this product. I think it's a good idea to not supply it on the computer anymore because it takes up space and people really don't use them anymore. I enjoy this product and carry it everywhere

    As my apple did not have a cd rom player built in I needed a cd rom disk reader for numerous appn loading, music, etc. This is very slim and takes no space on my desk. Very well constructed

    I bought this a few years ago when Apple got rid of the disk drive. It worked great for me! I have no need for it anymore but it still works and if you use it, I would recommend it.

    The player works well. The only thing is that the usb attachment is a little weak. I would be careful. Like with all apple cords, they may not take the test of time. The product works well none the less.

    This device works great! I have a Retina iMac and a Mac Air Notebook. Perfect accessory for Apple devices with no built in CD/DVD Drive. The only thing I wished this device could do is play/burn Blu Ray Disks.

    It has served its purpose and is light weight. Not had any issues connecting to MacBook and so far all disks we own seem to be compatible without any issues in burning pictures or transferring docs onto.

    The Apple cd/dvd drive is do simple to connect and use. As soon as you connect it your Apple computer will recognize the hardware and you're done. I chose this model as it would work seamlessly with my Apple mini Mac.

    I purchased a new MacBook a few months ago not fully realizing how much I'd miss the disk reader. This is perfect to remedy that oversight. It is super easy to use- plug in and go. Works perfectly.
