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.

    I needed the external DVD/cd drive to upload old pictures I had saved on cds. Plugs in easy and works great to upload! I definitely recommend this for uploading photos or documents from old cds!

    I didn’t think I would use this product as much as i have so far. Wished it was already installed in the actual computer but other than that, it’s a must have!

    I still feel I need the option of inputing or burning Optical discs with my computer. Since Apple no longer feels it is a needed item in their products you need to buy and add one on your own. Of course if they did not think people needed it ...they would not sell one. Anyway the superdrive is plug and play and the software in my Sierra OS IMac is already there so there is nothing to download. The superdrive burns all types of discs other than BlueRay. Will not play them either. if you need an optical drive for your mac this is the way to go.

    If you are old school or just have some old dvds you need read and an Apple product, this is the external reader for you- combined with the cord it works very well and was a great buy

    The Apple support drive is wonderful! I was able to download the CD in order to file my income tax. It was so easy and I would highly recommend it. I use it with my new MacBook Air.

    This was the perfect addition to my MacBook Air.. I don't always need a cd drive but it comes in handy.. I enjoy that it was ready to go straight out of the box. Plugged in and inserted the cd and was on my way!

    I was so happy that I was able to purchase this and still see my photos that are on a CD. It is so simple to use, plug into the back and open it up on the finder. Even a Grandma can do it...

    I bought this drive for my new macbook when it didn't come with one. Although I don't need it very often, it uploads or plays CD's whenever I need it too and it's small enough to fit in my computer bag.

    It's a quick and easy addition to my iMac. Step 1: take out of box. Step 2: plug in to USB. Done! Works simply, easily, neatly. Streamlined look like all the Apple products. Does not support the blu-ray format.

    I strongly recommend this product. If you need to use CDs and DVDs to install programs, listen to music, play games, etc., you will need this device, as the MacBook Pro does not come with a built-in CD/DVD drive.

    While most laptops do not come with cd rom drives anymore, we still use actual cd's and dvd's. This product was very easy to setup and use. Highly recommend for any old school users out there!

    I use the Superdrive with my 27" iMac desktop. It was easy to attach and works great playing DVDs and copying my CDs to my Apple music file and iPhone. I haven't tried to burn any discs with it.

    Seems fine so far. I liked it so much I ordered a second one. I did have a problem with using on the Mac Mini because I did not know the secret phrase hidden in the operating system. I googled the problem and got directed to the hidden phrase (something about all volumes). After that we got along tickety boo.

    Ok, that may be a bit much to describe a CD burner. But as is typical with apple products, this is a sleek, nice looking unit. Works perfectly alongside my MacBook Pro. Virtually silent and very quick.
