Cannot copy files from cd on M1 Mac

This something that I very seldom do but today I wanted to copy some files from a CD to my Mac M1. The Mac starts the copy process but never really copies anything and after 15 minutes I have to force shut down. I tried on my Intel Mac and no issue. I can copy files and burn to the CD drive no issues on all Macs. I tried the same process using another CD drive and the same issue. Has anyone else tried to copy files from a CD to Mac M1with any luck?

Cloning an external hard drive to another on Mac An IT support person told me to click and drag the contents of the external hard drive I want to copy over to the newly formatted external drive. Then, I found the below answer in this community: If you need to clone Drive A to Drive B: Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility 1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder. 2. Select the destination volume from the left side list. 3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window. 4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field. 5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field. 6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button. Destination means Drive B. Source means Drive A. It's old, and no one has replied to the thread for a long time, hence I'm posting this. I don't know which one is correct. Could anyone help me please?! Thanks. 🙏

Using Apple SuperDrive in windows 11 pc My pc recognizes that there is a DVD RW Drive connected. But the SuperDrive won't accept discs. Is this a problem with my SuperDrive or do I need to download something like a bootcamp or other to get it to work?

Extremely Slow Data transfer to USB from Macbook M1 Pro All, I am using Portronics usb-c to usb 3.0 cable to transfer my data from macbook pro M1 to usb and my data size is just under 2GB and still M1 takes about 2 hrs to copy files. The manufacturer has specified data transfer rate up to 5GB/Sec on usb 3.0 port but macbook is not delivering the expected performance any advise please? This is really bothering as my windows laptop is able to do the same task in few minutes.
