If you have an Apple SuperDrive connected via a third-party USB-C to USB-A adapter or via a dock, try using the Apple USB-C to USB-A adapter and connecting the adapter and SuperDrive directly (not via a dock). The Apple USB-C to USB-A adapter has sufficient power. Various third-party adapters lack that, and some will explicitly state SuperDrive is not supported.

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities Lou712,


If the message comes up when the drive is unplugged, or after a restart, try completing the following steps before taking those actions:


Eject a storage device

On your Mac, do one of the following:
* Select the item to eject, then choose File > Eject.
* In the Finder sidebar, click the Eject button  next to the item’s name.
* Tip: You can quickly eject disks from connected optical drives using the Eject menu in the menu bar. Choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click CDs & DVDs  in the sidebar (you may need to scroll down). Turn on “Show eject in menu bar.” 
* Note: If you don’t have an optical drive connected to your Mac, CDs & DVDs settings aren’t available.
* On the desktop, drag the item that you want to eject to the Trash.
If you can’t eject a storage device, another app or user may be using one or more files on the storage device. See If you can’t eject a disk on Mac because an app is using it and If you can’t eject a disk because another user is using it.

Connect and use other storage devices with Mac


We hope this helps!
