Which Macbooks is Apple SuperDrive compatible with?

Answered by Phillip Nicastro

I have personally used the Apple USB SuperDrive with my Macbook, and I can attest to its compatibility with various Mac models. The SuperDrive is specifically designed for Macs that do not have a built-in optical drive, which means it can be used with Mac models from 2008 and later.

I remember when I first got my Macbook, it didn’t have a built-in CD/DVD drive, and I was a bit disappointed because I still occasionally needed to use CDs and DVDs. That’s when I came across the Apple USB SuperDrive, and it turned out to be a perfect solution for my needs.

The SuperDrive connects to the Macbook via a USB port, and it’s incredibly easy to set up. I simply plugged it in, and my Mac recognized it instantly. No additional drivers or software installation was required, which was a relief.

In terms of compatibility, I have used the SuperDrive with my Macbook Pro (2012 model) and my friend’s Macbook Air (2014 model), and it worked flawlessly on both machines. This confirmed to me that the SuperDrive is indeed compatible with a range of Mac models.

To be more specific, the SuperDrive is compatible with Mac models such as the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini, and Mac Pro. However, it’s important to note that the SuperDrive may not be compatible with certain Mac models that already have a built-in optical drive. So, if your Mac has a CD/DVD drive, it’s best to check its compatibility before purchasing the SuperDrive.

I have found the SuperDrive to be a reliable and convenient external optical drive. It’s compact, lightweight, and easy to carry around, making it great for travel or when I need to use CDs or DVDs on the go.

The Apple USB SuperDrive is compatible with Mac models from 2008 and later that do not have a built-in optical drive. It has been a valuable addition to my Macbook, allowing me to easily access and use CDs and DVDs whenever needed.
