Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the 8x External USB 2.0 Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive's ease of use, compact size, and affordability. Many appreciate its compatibility with various operating systems and its lightweight design, finding it performs well for its size. While some noted a slightly higher noise level than expected, the positive feedback on performance and ease of use outweighs this minor drawback.

    Using it to run programs that are on DVD/CD, or download since my new computer is all-in-one just monitor with ports and keyboard.; with the portable DVD/CD writer and memory sticks, seems to be working out well as replacement for my old computer with tower that I recycled.

    Piece of garbage

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

    Sometimes I look to find the less expensive way out. So I bought this product and it's extremely difficult to use. Simple things like ejecting a disc become 10 minute struggles. Don't buy this crap, spring for the Mac, don't buy it twice like I did. The savings are NOT worth it.

    Attempt to save $$ by not buying the Apple product. Big mistake, unless you are computer savy. No step-by-step instructions to install. Ended up eating the shipping charge and exchanging for the Apple drive which was literally plug and play.

    I originally wanted the Apple Super Drive, but the guy at Best Buy told me that this was getting great reviews and was cheaper, so I gave it a shot. The build quality isn't great, and feels like it's made from cheap plastic materials. If I had to do it again, I'd spend the extra $20 and opt for the better built Apple Super Drive.
