Question

Asus external drive and macbook air

My sister in law recently purchased a macbook air from an online store that's affiliated with her work. Unfortunately, the apple products that they got their are too expensive. At the same time they are not new models but definitely brand new. I recently bought an asus external usb drive (SDRW-08D2S-U). I actually bought thiss o I could fix her other laptop that runs windows 8. I was wondering if this would work on OSX mavericks? You see the macbook air would arrive next week. I believe this macbook runs mountain lion. I plan to upgrade the software to osx mavericks once it gets delivered. Do you guys suggest buying a super drive instead for the macbook air?

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Your questions don't really make any sense, especially the last one.

The Apple Superdrive is an external DVD drive. The Macbook Air is a Complete computer (except it does not have a DVD drive built in).

As to the drive it can be formatted to work with any operating system, Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, Solaris, Whatever.
