Product details

The ASUS ZenDrive U9M is an ultra-slim, external DVD burner with support for USB Type C and USB Type A. Two cables for data transfer with PC and Mac are included.
The high-quality, Zen-inspired design with its fine, concentric circles shows how beautiful technology can be. Compared to hard disks, flash memories and other writable media that have a lifetime of about 8 years, M-DISC writing technology engraves the data into a patented, stone-like layer that can withstand extreme environmental conditions and allows life-long memories and important data to be stored for more than 1,000 years.

Trotz kurzer Leitung: Der ebenfalls bei Amazon gehandelte Amicool GT31 L errang den ersten Platz. In der Summer sind aber neun der zehn geprüften Brenner empfehlenswert, weil die Unterschiede größtenteils sehr gering sind. Nur vom Billigheimer Iamotus GSA-T50N sollten Kunden die Finger lassen.
