If you haven't purchased the SuperDrive yet you might consider an optical drive that is USB C. Since you're using it with an iMac you can get a self powered, drawer loading unit with USB C connectivity. I got mine from OWC (MacSales.com) without Blu-Ray (already had a B-R set top unit) and a high read speed (I rip audiobooks frequently). This current model from OWC is similar to my unit: OWC Mercury Pro 24X Super-Multi DVD/CD Burner/Reader External Optical Drive with M-DISC Support and it's the same price as the SuperDrive.


Just some food for thought.
