[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1815811, member: 46727"] The "A1379" is not a portable hard drive. It's the Apple portable DVD/CD drive. You need to describe which new MacBook Air that you have. Is it the newest 2018 model or an older one new to you? If it's the 2018 model, it has two Thunderbolt 3 ports which are USB 3.1/USB C. You would then need an adapter. This is what Apple says: [B]* MacBook, MacBook Air with Retina display, and MacBook Pro models with Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports require a USB-C to USB Adapter (sold separately) to use Apple USB SuperDrive.[/B] You just need to obtain the proper adapter and it should work to transfer your data.
