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.

    This is a great drive. I use it all the time to burn training movies, power points and documents. I have yet to have a problem with it. Smooth working and very user friendly. Mac makes everything plug and play!

    Functional

    MacBook Pro with no CD drive. CDs are last century but are products offered that way, no alternative. This purchase required for their functional use with Mac, and this external drive the only selection with Apple/Mac branding. Uncertain 3rd party-equipment interoperability so 'rode with the brand' so to speak.

    When we got the MacBook we got this with it for possibly downloading stuff or watching movies. We haven't used it very much yet, but watching movies with it is great. No problems so far.

    This was exactly what I was looking for and it very easy to use. You do have to push the disc in sometimes, but otherwise, no issues at all.

    Since iMac doesn't have a disc drive, this is a definite must have. Very easy to operate and didn't have to install any kind of program being that it is an Apple product. No hassle equals no headache!

    There are simpler ones and more complex ones but overall this is okay for doing its job and not much more. Quite costly compared to others but the Apple experience is not lacking with the nice feeling aluminum housing! Works great for my MacBook Pro 2019.

    Unpacked and began using right away. No problems at all either ripping CDs, or installing tax software. One of the few items manufactured by or for Apple that actually works without problems.

    I purchased this Apple external superdrive so that I could put my Cd's and Dvd's on my Mac. It was very helpful and easy to use. The price was a bit higher than other name brands but it is Apple. It also comes with the USB cable for easy transferring.

    This item seems to be OK but unfortunately the classes that were promised by Best Buy to help me set up the computer are not available so I am operating it on my own – not a great way to sell something. Went to class today and was told it was cancelled and only iPad would be given not anymore for the laptop!

    Very lightweight, sleek and easy to use. Needed it to load a program via cd onto a MacBook. No set up, just plugged it into the Mac and loaded the cd into it.

    Works great but a little hard to figure out

    This drive works great, but I had to pull out the help book in order to figure out how to set it up. At first when I plugged it in I couldn't get it to show up on the computer. You have to go into a specific drive in order to see it and then in order to eject the disk you also have to find the eject button on the computer rather than the drive having an easy button. I also thought at first it didn't have power because you have to force the disk in almost all the way before the power kicks on and pulls the disk in the rest of the way.

    The new laptops do not include at disk drive so the superdrive is a necessity for me. I am a photographer and have thousands of photos on DVDs that I am constantly going back to and retrieving old images.

    The Apple external hard drive was purchase because the MacBook Air did not have a r/w disc drive. But in todays world who uses disc? So now I can save and back up my MacBook on the external hard drive.
