Review on 📀 ASUS ZenDrive Ultra Slim DVD Optical Drive: External 8X +/-RW with M-Disc Support for Windows and Mac - Nero BackItUp for Android Devices (SDRW-08U7M-U/BLK/G/AS) by Gent Dobson

Preview. Long-term reliability is unknown. Works great with my windows laptop. Music CDs, DVDs played, and data CD-ROMs opened. Also works with my Raspberry Pi 4, although VLC media player seems to have a problem playing anti-piracy warnings. It was probably a settings issue on my end and not the fault of the device. The materials look good. I may prefer the micro USB to the mini USB on the player and I should note that my laptop has two adjacent USB ports as required by this device. If your laptop has an unusual layout, e.g. For example, if you have a connector on each side, you will need a USB 2 Type-A extension cable to provide enough drive power. . I have not tried the write function on this drive with these or standard discs. I'm also not sure if the M-disk hype is everything. But if that feature interests you, this drive has it. Another DVD drive I tried didn't even eject or play discs, so ASUS wins in value for money over the one competitor I bought.
