    A lot of devices still use disks to install their programs. You can take a chance and download it off the internet or use this as computers are starting to get rid of the optical drive to save space, plus it's fun to watch an old DVD from time to time.

    I'd had no problem using a dongle to connect other devices to the USB-C ports on my newer MacBook Air, but it wouldn't recognize my old Apple Superdrive. I was told this was a common problem, but that other optical drives would do the job. This one comes with a USB-C cable and works well.
