I upgraded to a new I Mac 2 weeks ago. When I bought my last one in 2011, it came with a physical media drive and a SD card reader as well as USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports. I knew Apple had stopped including physical media drives in the last 5-6 years and converted to usb C and thunderbolt. So I found the Apple USB super Drive. I purchased it even though some of the Reviews said it only works with Mac books and only when directly connected to a USB port. I had purchased a non Apple USB C connector with multiple ports I plugged the Drive into the usb on the connector and it wasn’t being read. So today I purchased an actual Apple USB C to USB adapter. I plugged the drive into that and it works. Moral of the Story, use Apple on Apple connectors
