Product details

The Asus ZenDrive U7M is an external DVD burner with an ultra-slim form factor of just 13 mm and a Zen-inspired design featuring a silky matte surface with concentric circles, enhancing the optical interaction with any type of computer. The M-DISC burning technology engraves the written data in a patented stone-like layer that is resistant to extreme stress, ensuring that a lifetime of memories and important user data is preserved for over 1,000 years.

The Asus ZenDrive U7M supports M-DISC, an archival-standard storage solution designed for users to secure their most valuable digital memories, such as family photos and personal videos. M-DISC DVDs can safeguard data with a durability of more than 1,000 years, allowing users to relax knowing that their lifetime memories are preserved for future generations. In comparison to hard drives, flash storage, and other writable media with an average lifespan of 8 years, M-DISC is engineered to protect memories from decay and data loss for over 1,000 years.
