[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1854313, member: 46727"] Reference to what Slydude posted above.... Most portable Macs; MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro do not supply the same amount of current (power) to an external optical drive as does an iMac, Mac Mini, or a Mac Pro. Keeping a dual USB cable handy is a good idea. Of course if you can find a self powered optical drive that's even better. [/QUOTE]
