This HP external CD/DVD writer uses a USB 2.0 interface, making it physically compatible with a MacBook Pro with USB ports. However, there is no official HP-specific driver for macOS, which may cause problems with recognition or native operation on the Mac. In general, standard USB optical drives are often automatically recognised by macOS without additional drivers, but this can vary depending on the version of the operating system and the exact model of MacBook Pro.
In summary, this drive is hardware compatible with a MacBook Pro via USB, but there is no official guarantee of full software support from HP for macOS. We advise you to check whether macOS automatically recognises the device or to consult Apple forums for possible solutions in the event of a problem.
