Super Drive not working while MacBook Pro is in use

I have a mid 2015 MacBook Pro 15".

I just bought a Mac Super Drive.

When the Super Drive is plugged into one of the USB ports and I restart the MAc, then the Super Drive is accepted and my DVD is played.

However, when the Mac is in use and I then plug in the Super Drive, the drive is not recognized at all.


Please help

Restarting redefines port definition


As well as resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
