Hey there,
I was told specifically by the sales person in the Apple store that the Apple SuperDrive would not work with the Mx chip Pro models. Is this correct?
If so, what are the recommended options does anyone have for an external drive (I've CD's and DVD's I'd like to rip and save).
Thanks!

that is incorrect. there are many people successfully using a superdrive with their apple silicon Macs. but it needs to be connected directly to the Mac. it will not function if connected through a dock or hub. and for Macs that only have TB3 (USB-C) ports, you need an USB-C to USB Adapter.
but the other options you have can be found at OWC. please see OWC DVD / CD / Blu-ray drives
