What vintage/model Superdrive is it? IIRC the one that you could get for the original MacBook Air would only work properly with certain non-standard USB ports. The newer one is meant to be more compatible.

The model number is A1379. A quick search suggests the one before was the A1270? I'm not sure how old this one is, recently bought from the classifieds.

Hopefully the adaptor will make it good.

I use an A1379 with my 2017 Macbook Pro - I've got a few cheapo dongles and adapters, and it seems like the multi-port/multi-function dongles generally don't work, but the direct USB-A > USB-C adapters do. Not sure if that's just a coincidence, but the drive definitely does work with the computer.
