Hello storne,


It sounds like you want to connect an USB SuperDrive to an iPad.


Here are some resources that can help:


Connect external devices or servers with Files on iPad

  • The external devices you can connect to an iPad are "such as USB drives and SD cards, file servers, and other cloud storage providers like Box and Dropbox, after you connect them to your iPad."


Apple USB SuperDrive

  • The compatibility for the Apple USB Super drive are only Mac Models.


Hope this information helps.


Have a good day.
