USB Convertor

I recently bought a USB Superdrive to play CDs and DVDs, and I bought one with a USB that fit my family's computer as well. I used, as per the previous conversation thread, my USB-C convertor (LETSCOM brand) so that I could use it with my Macbook, that only has USB-C. The following image shows up whenever I connect it. How do I fix this issue? I spent $80 on a DVD/CD player that isn't working, and I'm extremely frustrated.

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.15

I'm going to muddy the waters a bit more by saying that I would not use a drive without its own power supply. A USB port may or may not supply enough power for media to play; as well, I do not know if some of the power is lost during the "pass-through/convert" process from USB C to plain USB.


What is the exact model/brand of this drive?
