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.

    My iMac Pro Air doesn’t have a disc drive and neither does the iMac mini so this is perfect for being able to switch back and forth

    I purchased this drive for an apple laptop that doesn't have an internal disk drive. It was simple to plug and play and I caught it on sell….So great purchase. I have only used it to download a cd rom, although it has the capability to do more.

    This external hard drive is a must for users who don't have a cd drive with their current MacBook. It's portable, lightweight and comes in handy when you need to use the cd rom.

    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

    It is an external drive and does exactly what it is supposed to do, without the need of additional software. There are cheaper third party options, but this thing is tiny and looks good.

    This was kind of an impulse buy. I didn't do any research on it before I bought it, but I am very happy with it. I haven't tried DVDs on it yet, but CDs work great with it!

    I bought this at the same time I was purchasing an iMac. I own hundreds of Music Cd's and now I have a way to load my favorite albums into my itunes account. Very easy to hook up and use.

    This is my second Apple Super-Drive, as I wanted one for home and one to take with me. It is an excellent prioduct, made and engineered to work with the Apple MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops. This drive costs a little more than some of the other portable drives out there, but it is well built with a solid aluminum case. Since it is engineered to work with Apple products then it is simply a "plug and play" unit with no software or updates needed. I would highly recommend this unit.

    Since CD/DVD drives are not built-in like they are on many PCs, I bought the external CD/DVD drive to go with an Apple 21" inch desktop. It seems to work well and is easy to install and use.
