Apple SuperDrive and USB Hub
So I treated myself a couple of months ago and got a USB SuperDrive, just in case Apple decides to delete them from its line up. Been using a Samsung DVD burner for over 8 years, got it for my late 2012 iMac in early 2013, it still works, the DVD not my iMac. It died a few weeks back with power supply and main board issues.
Got myself a M1 MacBook Pro to hold me over until my spec'ed out new M1 iMac arrives. Anyway plugged in the Apple SuperDrive into the exact same powered USB hub I've been using for the Samsung and nothing, won't take a DVD. Plugged in the Samsung and its still working as it should.
Tried it on another MacBook Pro and works fine, will test it on my new M1 iMac when it arrives.
Its a shame this nice looking SuperDrive doesn't work as it should, guess I'll stick with my plastic tray load Samsung DVD on my nice new M1 iMac.
