Mac USB superdrive not recognized

I didn't properly eject my Mac USB Superdrive and now it's not recognized by my Mac. (Can't see it in Finder or Disk Utility.) What can I do?

iMac 27″, macOS 11.1

Try using all available ports on your Mac, and make sure a disk is inserted in the drive, otherwise nothing will show up.

If it still does not work, try..


Let us know how it goes!


Cheers,
