Unfortunately not. As it turns out, the USB SuperDrive requires a significant amount of power in order for the drive to be powered and read the disk that has been inserted. When connecting our adapters to your computer, there is a slight power diminishment, having that our adapters are also BUS powered.
When connecting the SuperDrive to our adapter, this will cause for too much power to be required from the USB-C port on your MacBook and will result in a message appearing on your computer stating "USB Devices Disabled: Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices." Below I have attached an image and link directly from the Apple website further explaining this message.

In order to directly connect the SuperDrive to your computer via USB-C, we highly recommend our USB-C to USB 3.0 Adapter Cable: (https://satechi.net/products/usb-c-to-usb-3-0-adapter-cable?variant=32976105439320). This will transfer all the required power from the computer for the drive to function.
