ZenDrive U7M External Ultra-Slim DVD Writer with M-Disc Support

The ZenDrive U7M External Ultra-Slim DVD Writer with M-Disc Support from ASUS is a Windows and Mac compatible optical drive that has been built with an ultra-slim 13mm form factor and a USB 2.0 interface. It features a maximum DVD read and write speed of 8x, a maximum CD read and write speed of 24x, DVD video playback of 4x, VCD playback of 16x, and Audio CD playback of 10x. It also supports M-DISC, which is an archival-quality storage solution designed to help users protect their memories and data. M-DISC burning technology accomplishes this by engraving recorded data into a patented rock-like layer that is resistant to extreme conditions. Compared to hard drives, flash drives, and other writable media, which have the storage lifetime of around 8 years, M-DISC is designed to protect your memories from degradation and data loss for 1,000 years or more.

The ZenDrive U7M is USB +5V ± 5% bus powered, meaning that no external power supplies are required aside from the USB cable used to connect this drive to your host system. Included with this optical drive is Cyberlink and Nero bundled software.
