Product details

The Blu-ray burner Asus BW-16D1HT Silent convinces with its elegant design in glossy black and its high-quality workmanship. The BW-16D1HT combines modern technologies such as BD-R XL support up to 128 GB, M-DISC and Magic Cinema technology as well as Blu-ray 3D support in a very attractive housing. The Optimal Tuning Strategy (OTS) adjusts the laser optimally to the corresponding medium and thus achieves best results for highest burning quality and reliability. In addition, the "E-Green" function ensures that the drive switches to an energy-saving standby mode after approx. 2 minutes without access.

  • PositiveSupports many formats
  • Negativequite loud
  • Negativefew accessories

Asus' drive also supports many formats, which makes the model quite flexible. The data rates for reading and writing are also quite good. However, the manufacturer charges considerably more than the accessories, which are rather meagre. In addition, the model is quite loud at work.
