I have a new MacBook pro. There's only one usb port. If I connect my Apple USB SuperDrive to this device, will the SuperDrive work?

im sure it will work, but the thing is if the usb port (not on your mac) does not have external power supply, it will drain power from your mac. it is best to get the one that has external power supply. you might want to get a second opinion from where got your mac. you probably dont need this device just to connect the SuperDrive, you could just connect is straight to it, unless you have other devices you want to connected simultaneously.

Using on a Mac, you only need to use a single connector. It provides both power and data from the computer. This unit works very efficiently using only 1 USB connector!

Make sure it's a mac formatted hard drive, re-format on your computer if you're unsure. It's hardware not software, what won't be compatible ? USB3 connects to Yosemite same way it connected to Maverick or Mountain lion.

I have a MacBook Pro 13 and it does work. I purchased this same flash drive (Kingston DTL G3 32Gb) 2 months ago and it works great. Also, Apple updated today and it is now 10.10.2 and I tested the drive again and it still works. I had the same problem with my older Kingston not working. I contacted Kingston and I even went down to the Apple store to figure out why? Kingston sent me an email stating: Apple's new update makes the G2 no longer readable and there will be no fix to this. That's why I had to buy the G3. All in all the G3 works better anyways because its faster due to it being USB 3.0. Hopes this helps. I have a MacBook Pro 13 and it does work.

I don't use Macs, but as long as you have a USB 2.0 or better, just about any 2.5" drive will work. Be aware that the double USB plug is sometimes needed for extra power, but I seldom have to use anything other than a standard USB cable.

Steven, I removed the optical drive from my MacBook Pro and in its placed I installed a Hard Drive. I ordered this part to connect the removed optical drive and still use it with my laptop through a USB port. It works as though the optical drive is installed inside the Mac. All you need is this connection.

I have this on a Mac Mini running Mavericks and it works great. You definitely need a powered USB hub with the Mac. I have three USB hubs on my Mac Mini and this one works the best by far.

The box states Portable USB Drive for Apple MacBook. There is a website mentioned on the box g-technology.com/support for help on this product.

The USB drive should be recognizable by any device with a USB Port. the only thing that would be incompatible is if you have a proprietary file type exclusive to Mac trying to run it on Windows. Files like pictures, videos and such should all be fairly universal and transfer with no issues.

I can not answer your question about the Mac, but think of other USB pointer devices work on Mac this one will do also. A other problem can be the software with comes with this devices. I must say I'm fine with this device since it works good.

Officially, it only works with Macs (iMac, Macbook Pro, and Macbook Air) that did not come with a built-in super drive. However, you can get it to work by following these instructions: http://www.hardturm.ch/luz/2011/10/how-to-make-the-macbook-air-superdrive-work-with-any-mac/.

Unfortunately, most third party hubs as well as our hubs are not compatible with the Apple Superdrive. Apple used a special drive and provides the drivers only on a Mac. It needs to be hooked up directly to the Mac to work. For further assistance, please email support@satechi.com. Thank you, Satechi Technical Support

I use it with my MacBook Pro OSX Mavericks - works great. Not USB 3, that would be better.

Lisa, I'm sorry. I don't know. (I'm not much of a computer expert, and I don't want to tell you wrong.) when I started to play a cd I was really surprised that my new Mac mini top of the line didn't have a superdrive. I guess everything is going toward streaming. I think I would visit the apple store just to be sure. Those guy's and gals know everything about Mac. Good luck. I'm sure they can help you out!
