    In theory any external drive would do the job, I've got a samsung drive similar to this one which has worked well for me on a windows machine.

    However I have zero experience with Mac's, but that should, as I say, in theory do the job.

    One small problem here - if we're really talking about a new (2015/2016) Macbook, not a MacBook Pro or Macbook Air, it has precisely ONE USB-C port. No USB. So you need an adaptor, but once you do that any USB drive should do, any branded one should do, and should cost less than £20 for a DVD rewriter.

    Thanks, it is a Macbook pro with two usb ports which is one reason why I bought it.
