Product details

Asus ZenDrive U7M is an external DVD Writer featuring an ultra-slim 13mm form factor and a Zen-inspired design with a concentric-circle hairline finish that adds sophisticated aesthetics to any computer
setup. M-DISC burning technology engraves recorded data into a patented rock-like layer that is resistant to extreme conditions, allowing you to save your lifetime memories and important data for 1,000 years or more.

Asus ZenDrive U7M supports M-DISC, an archival-quality storage solution designed to help users protect their most precious digital memories — such as family photos and home videos — M-DISC DVDs can preserve data for 1,000 years or more, providing peace of mind that these lifetime memories will be safe for generations to come. 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.

Computer BildDVD-Brenner Test - 10 Modelle von 16 bis 89 Euro im TestReleaseNovember 2017

Ein Test, zwei Sieger - und auch noch vom selben Hersteller. Die Modelle ES1-01 und EBAU108 von Lite-On erreichten mit hauchdünnem Vorsprung den ersten Platz.
