Can external USB drive be used on Macbook Pro
I'm getting Macbook Pro (likely the Retina model) :
seems like the Retina model does not have a built-in
DVD drive (while the non-retina model has a built-in
DVD drive).
I have a couple of THinkpad USB DVD drive (for X61
THinkpads) : can these be used /detected by Macbook
Pro?

I think Apple's equivalent is called USB SuperDrive
but in Windows world, I called it DVD drive. Are they
using the same media (ie DVD ) ?

Did we answer your questions?
not USB HDD or USB thumb drive.
I plan to use my Thinkpad X61's external DVD writer drive
on a Macbook Pro.
Btw, does the older model (non retina) model of Macbook
Pro comes with a built-in DVD drive ? Or is it called the
Optical drive?
