Very nice that they compiled the CD drive drivers for Silicon macOS.

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

This is a legacy product that has been around for many years

[@katie-qi2fw]

Do you have a link for the adapter?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

You can get this one from Anker amzn.to/3HD4pnQ (affiliate link)

Question 🙋‍♀️ can you use this with DVDs as well?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

Yes you can

[@c2wv]

Can you use them to “burn” or download the dvd to your MacBook or only stream?

[@clairemendoza8082]

@@c2wv I just wanted to know if it will play DVD's but you had an amazing question as well. :)

[@ferre7661]

I buyed secondhand. But how can you get you’re CD out ?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

There is no physical button to eject the disk. You have to use the Eject button in the software / finder / Music app.

I have a 2017 Macbook Air and just bought a Superdrive for it....and the laptop is not recognizing it in FINDER nor in Disc Utility....I bought it to burn CD'S or DVD's for my Toytota 4Runner which is older (2006). Not sure what to do here.....

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

I think you may have a bad driver try replace it

[@JEFFQUICKLE9]

@@ToolsElectroDIY Thank You

[@Total-Solutions]

That’s correct you won’t see it unless you put a disc in, then it wakes up

[@accentontheoff]

Have you tried this with a Mac Mini by any chance. Thanks.

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

No. But it should be a universal fit.

[@accentontheoff]

@@ToolsElectroDIY Sure, but according to Apple support India, it is only compatible with Macs that previously had an optical drive. And Mac mini is not one of them.

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

@@accentontheoff I’m 100% sure it will work with any Mac mini.

[@accentontheoff]

@@ToolsElectroDIY Cool thanks.

[@andygilbert1877]

[@Itz-Self]

Will this work on windows 10

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

Yes

[@kenjikingofficial]

Does it play BLURAY?

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

No. it is CD and DVD only. It's an old product that hasn't been refreshed for over a decade.

[@ChristopherVillasenor-qf7un]
