Apple SuperDrive on MacBook 12-inch?

Hi!


I have recently ordered the new MacBook 12-inch, and I'm considering purchasing an external DVD drive. Considering the new USB-C on the new MacBook: Does the Apple SuperDrive work with the new MacBook if i have an adapter from USB 3.0 to USB-C?

Apple SuperDrive-OTHER, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), null

Yes, you'll need this http://store.apple.com/xc/product/MJ1M2

if you plan on using an external monitor too, I'd recommend this as it has USB and HDMI in one adapter http://store.apple.com/xc/product/MJ1K2

First, you need the more recent version of the Apple Superdrive to function with the multi-port Apple adapters.


All bets are off with an unknown 3rd party adapter. How can anybody make a comment about it.


Second as a reminder, in macOS/OS X, the drive will only show on the desktop if there is a disc in the drive.


I own an earlier Apple Superdrive and it diffinitely works with Apple's USB-C to USB-A adapter.
