Product details

The Asus ZenDrive U9M is an ultra-slim external DVD burner that supports both USB Type-C and USB Type-A. It comes with two cables for data transfer with PC and Mac. The high-quality, Zen-inspired design features fine, concentric circles that showcase how beautiful technology can be. Compared to hard drives, flash storage, and other writable media that have a lifespan of about 8 years, the M-DISC writing technology engraves data into a patented stone-like layer that can withstand extreme environmental conditions, allowing for the storage of lifelong memories and important data for over 1,000 years.

Rank 2 out of 10Computer BildTest DVD-BrennerReleaseAugust 2019

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.
