will this power an apple superdrive for my MBA?

I don't have an Apple SuperDrive but a LG DVD burner works fine. Since this drive requires USB power to make it work, I would think the SuperDrive would work as well.

My guess is yes because Apple uses standard drives in all of their computers. The MBA uses standard 1.8" PATA drives.

I have it plugged in to a MAC Powerbook. It is USB 2.0, I see no reason why it would not work.

If you're referring to the DVD super drive from Apple it uses USB not thunderbolt.http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD564ZM/A/apple-usb-superdrive

If it has the correct voltage, polarity and amps that your drive requires, then yes.

Yes, it will work. But your macbook already has a power adapter all you need is to change the tip of the wall plug.

As long as you can find drivers for it and the Macbook has SATA connectors then it will work.

I've only used this drive for DVDs which works fine. I don't see why it wouldn't work it looks good with my MacBook Air too. I have no issues with this drive

Yes, it will work with newer iMac as well as older type with 2.0 & 3.0 however super drive from apple seem to use more power. I've used panasonic DVD RW driver similar to super drive seem to work with USB hub.

It should. I had no problems using this on a long drive with a macbook pro from a couple of years ago (probably 2011).

Just connect usb from charger to Mac air to charge, will probably only be good for 1 charge though, laptop needs more power than the smaller devices obviously.

Yes, it should (I have booted from mine many times). Unless you use a bus-powered drive, or a portable RAID, which is especially power-hungry, then this adapter might supply insufficient power. Most portable drives are reasonable and work.

The Apple Superdrive needs more power than the USB spec specifies. USB ports on Apple laptops 'coincidentally' supply higher-than-spec power. Without the higher power (e.g. USB hubs (even powered ones), Windows computers, etc.) This is a stupid business practice to lock their drives to their laptops, nothing more. But since this drive is Mac and Windows compatible, there's nothing to worry about, USB spec power will be enough.

I have had no problems using the Superdrive with my Macbook Air. Also, it is thin which makes it easy to pack in my computer case.

I do not believe so. MacBooks use a custom connector, not the standard M.2 connector.
