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 recently purchased a Mac computer and was in need of an external dvd drive. I started using right away and have no complaints.

    A Christmas gift for my daughter in college for use with her Mac Pro. She loves it and reports it's just want she wanted. Works just as designed, as do all Apple products we own.

    Still need to deal with physical copies of media in today’s world. This is a cheap portable, and good alternative rather than clogging up space on new desktops/laptops.

    Still uploading and burning discs with my MacBook

    Despite the fact I have a new MacBook Pro and I don’t use cd’s too often, I still use cd’s and burn them as well. This SuperDrive has worked really well for me. It’s price is decent enough. I really onLu bring it out when needed. If you are looking into this and only have usb-c ports, you need to find a usb c to a with the a being the female end. This is because the SuperDrive still uses a usb a.

    I would highly recommend this drive over the "bargains" and spend the extra few bucks on the brand name one. I had a "cheaper" one and honestly it sucked. NOT nearly as quick or dependable!

    I think Apple is to far ahead of time, we're not complely digital yet, so having to purchase an external optical drive wasn't ideal. It's thin, so it packs and travels well in my laptop bag.

    This is a great little DVD Drive. Just plug into new iMac and it works. No buttons. Just slide in DVD and it will grab it the rest of the way. My Apple wired keyboard had buttons for the DVD SuperDrive.

    The Real Deal

    I was trying to burn video DVDs of some home movies with an external no-named DVD burner and I kept getting errors when I tried to play the dics. I got so annoyed that that I went to the store and picked up a genuine Apple DVD burner. It was more than I wanted to spend but it flawlessly burned my home movies and the discs played on all my DVD players (stand alone, xBox, compact portable). Sometimes it just pays to pay the extra for the Apple logo!

    My 15 inch MacBook Pro with retina display didn't come with an internal cd/dvd. Therefore what other better product then Apples very own external drive. Very easy to use. Just plug and play.

    Works great with our iMac and Macbook! I thought it would work with our other laptop, which has Windows, but it doesn't. From what I understand you can download a program onto your windows laptop/pc which will allow you to use this drive on it, but I've yet to search for and download that program.

    We own pretty much all Apple products and when I purchased my iMac I obviously needed to get a drive as well. This one by Apple is great and we would recommend to anyone
