M1 MBP will not mount external optical drive (ASUS)

working solution:

I connected the ASUS DVD Drive (SDRW-08U9M-U) with an other cable with 2 USB-A connecters to a not powered USB HUB wich is connected via USB-C cable to the M1 Macbook air.


The DVD Drive was not recognised with the original ASUS cable with the USB-C connector.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.5

Try a more direct connection to the Mac ie no hub


USB-C to USB Adapter - Apple




If in doubt I would contact ASUS for Support/Help/FAQ/known issues/ compatiblity
