Why doesn't my Azus Zen DVD Writer SDRW-08U9M-U show up when I plug it in my MacBook Pro 2019 model?

Try inserting a disc into the drive.

Some DVD drives do not show themselves to the computer unless/until a disc –blank or otherwise– is inserted.

Also, the Asus software for this drive is at best September of 2017. It may simply not be compatible.
