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.

    Works great with my iMac. It confused me because it doesn't show up in finder or on the desktop until you put a cd in it. Spent a lot of time trying to find it but it doesn't appear until something is in it. Other than that it works as expected.

    This product is a great product, it's very easy to use, not too expensive, and worth it if you don't have a disc drive!

    Bought this Superdrive for my MacBook Pro (2016) model. Had a lot of CDS that I wanted to transfer to my hard drive. Great if you want to burn to disks as well. Works very well and connects as soon you plug it in. You will need an usb-c adapter in order to use it with the new MacBook Pro models.

    I opted out of purchasing the MacBook Pro and got the MacBook Pro with retina display. I rarely use the drive, but when I do it works wonderfully.

    SuperDrive works great with my 2015 MacBook Pro. Just wish there was a SuperDrive with Blu-Ray comparability, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Had never used external drive but found this an easy addition to use. Great for listening to CD's or burning new discs. It does make a little noise when operating which could be common with all players.

    With the new Mac Books not having a superdrive anymore, this is a great addition. Plug and play. How much easier can it be? Being an Apple person, I expect to use this drive for quite a while.

    I have nothing to complain about the SuperDrive. I use it for my MacBook Air and my iMac. It's quick to connect and easy to use. I've had absolutely no problems with the disc, either reading or burning.

    Good solution for bad superdrive

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

    Good solution for bad superdrive. The iMac desktop native built-in Optiarc DVD player stopped recognizing DVDs and CDs.. This external drive was a quicker (but not cheaper) fix than a trip to the Apple Store to R&R the Superdrive. Main problem is that the USB cable takes up another USB port! So I have to alternate swapping the external hard drive for other peripherals, such as a usb-charger, an external usb-hard drive, a time machine, a usb-flash drive, usb-audio output, usb-midi adapter, usb-card reader, etc.. I am told there is software for watching Blu Ray DVDs on an iMac..??

    This Apple external USB drive works great! I use it with my Macbook Air, mostly at home to read CD-Rom discs that come with textbooks I use for school. It never gets hot and is super quiet. Great buy

    Simple, fast, and easy to use. I've been transferring my CD's onto my iPod and absolutely enjoy how easy it is as I am not very technology savvy. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

    Works as expected. It’s a nice option to keep the Laptop from being so bulky, since it not needed all the time.

    DVD drives are not the sexist technology out there now. Bought this to work with my iMac. Does a great job if you still need access to CDs or DVDs. Works great to play DVD movies on the iMac.

    It works great for me. I have seen a lot of bad reviews about this Superdrive, that's because you must use USBC-to USB cord to make the Superdrive work probably.
