Last two times I've ordered from Target and the item was actually out of stock, they offered to ship it for free. YMMV.

Wow, your car has a CD player?

One of my vehicles was redesigned in 2016 and came with a CD player. The manufacturer axed the CD in 2019 refresh and put a blank instead of a storage cubby (lame).

I had to buy a no name CD/DVD drive to use the TurboTax CD that I bought at Costco last year. If you use the cloud d/l you have to choose Mac or PC, but if you use the included CD, it lets you install Mac or PC. I was sharing the software with PC and Mac family members since it can do five fed e-files for free.

Bought this exact drive a few months back, because my Blu Ray burner would not rip some old DVD's that I wanted to add to Plex. This works flawlessly if you need to do any old school ripping / burning.

These hazards would apply to any situation involving this drive as well. Let's at least try to keep the contrarianism coherent Big Grin

It works on my Mac Studio, so I'd say yes. It's labelling as being Mac-compatible

Actually no, but it IS undoubtedly good to have backups in 2 places ! A good cloud service works and you barely have to worry about it. CD's or DVD, you need to be careful of those cheapo blanks, that "de-laminate" themselves or get warped easily. Just make sure you backup your data to 2 places !!!!

Some reviews say it's not compatible with Monterey.
