Product details
The ASUS SDRW-08U5S-U is a portable optical drive and, at just 12 mm in width, one of the slimmest external DVD burners in the world. Its elegant, Zen-inspired design features an integrated, hidden stand that not only saves space but also keeps things organized, as it can be positioned both horizontally and vertically. For data security, ASUS employs two measures, offering password protection and encryption, along with a function for encrypting file names.
Disc Encryption
Double security for sensitive data
The Disc Encryption feature provides double protection for the data to be secured. It can protect the entire disc or just specific parts with a password and offers the option to encrypt file names.
E-Green
Energy-saving drive
The E-Green technology can automatically close drive applications when they are not in use. This allows it to reduce power consumption by up to 50%.
Drag-and-Burn
Only 3 steps to complete a burning process
With the Drag-and-Burn feature, copying media and burning files is effortless. A new disc can be created in just 3 simple steps. Files to be burned can easily be dragged and dropped onto the software interface. After that, the burning process can be started with a simple click of the "Burn" button.
Integrated hidden stand
Flexible positioning
The integrated stand allows for both horizontal and vertical positioning for more space and greater convenience.
