How can I find my optical drive on a macbook pro retina mid 2015? Since updating it doesn't show up and I can't install apps from their CDs they we purchased on.

What kind of optical drive is it? Is it an Apple Superdrive or a third-party drive?

Untangling old MacBook hard drive from new MacBook Pro I had a MacBook with an attached extended hard drive. I bought a new MacBook Pro and installed it after using Disk Utility to erase the previous Macbook drives (I thought.)and updating to Catalina. But now in Finder both hard drives appear attached or combined with the extended drives TM ad LaCie. I do not plan to keep the MacBook so I would like to see a Finder showing only the newer MacBook Pro information and the extended hard drives. I attach screenshot from Disk Utility if that helps.

One of my external drives doesn't Show in finder but it does show in the Bacon's iMac file: Silicon 02 in this case. It's no big deal, but it would be nice if ALL the external drives showed in Finder. How does one make that happen?
