Burning DVD - Apple SuperDrive - Big Sur Is it possible to burn a DVD on my Apple SuperDrive while working on other things on my iMac? In other words, does it interfere with the burning process (in the background) if other activity is going on? eg: working in Adobe Creative cloud; or moving files from one location to another (independent of the DVD being burned).

An external optical drive. The Apple USB external optical drive will work with any Mac that does not have a built-in optical drive.

No adapter is needed for USB 3.0. A USB 3.0 port supports USB 2.0. Adapters would be needed if using USB-C port.

Most are backward compatible. Make sure you check the system requirements for the drive.
