Model A1379 USB SuperDrive not compatible with the MacBook Air m2 2022 I purchased a Model 2681 MacBook Air m2 2022 13.6-inch in November. At the time, I also purchased a Model A1379 USB SuperDrive. Turns out that the SuperDrive is not compatible with the new MacBook Air although the Apple salesperson insisted that it would be. She was wrong and, after a modest hassle, I was able to return it for a refund. I am still looking for a MAC-compatible CD Reader / Burner but haven’t been able to find one that doesn’t carry the baggage of numerous complaints from buyers on Amazon and BestBuy. I’m hoping that this post will trigger useful insights from the Apple Community!

External CD/DVD Writer Not Powered By MacBook Air 2022? I just bought a new MacBook Air 2022. When I connect my LG/Hitachi Slim external CD/DVD reader/writer via USB-C (using an Apple dongle adaptor) the unit doesn't seem to get enough power. System information sees the drive but it makes a clicking noise about once a second, the power light doesn't come on, and I can't open the tray. The same combination works fine on my 2018 MBP so I'm confused. Isn't USB-C supposed to have standard set of specs for power? If the Air doesn't supply enough power, how do I find a drive that will work? I still need to read music CDs.
