Review on πŸ’Ώ ASUS Computer International Direct SDRW-08U5S-U/SIL/G/AS Optical Drives by Bogdan Nikolov ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall good, but expected more.

This drive is a quality alternative for both laptop and "chumadan". ASUS SDRW-08U5S-U Silver is just a good-ordinary DVD-RW external drive and nothing more. At the same time, a very cheap and meager equipment of the device for goods in 400-500 UAH. In general, the toy is good, the country of manufacture of the device would be better. Has some pros: 1. Perhaps the most important and most important; the fact that the drive is more or less well recognized and works in Linux, and of course in Windows Xp Sp3 and Wista Sp2 it works very well, probably still new - (Made in Taiwan). The drive works on the principle of a flash drive; I inserted a 2.0 cable connector into the PC - the firewood was installed by autopilot - and rejoice . ;-) Extract through (safely remove the device), that is, like a regular USB flash drive. 2. It works pretty quietly (and in AudioCD mode), although to each his own. 3. the device is neat and compact (looks nice) 4. Correctly reads old scratched discs (the main thing is that the disc is technically sound). 5. Works by itself with 8cm so-called Mini-DVD discs (which is very convenient). Different cons: 1. The main one so far is only one; Comes with a wire "stub" approx. 20cm, for connection to PC. 2. Unnecessary and empty software CyberLink Power2Go 8, ASUS E-Green- garbage in general, suitable only for not distant "people", according to the principle, I threw the files and pressed the burn button. it's good that today there are programs; 1. Nero Burning ROM. 2. ImgBurn 3. And of course Astroburn Pro. 3. Long time to check disk access. approx. 5-8 sec. (when a disc is inserted into the disc drive) 4. Manual tray semi-automatic, this is the Middle Ages! Today, Asus can not please with anything.
