Netbooks were designed to be a more portable and affordable alternative to regular sized notebooks, but that portability and affordability comes at a heavy cost in terms of features. One important feature a netbook lacks is a built-in DVD writer and you need one to accompany your netbook from time to time.
The stylish and attractive ASUS SDRW-08D1S-U 8x Slim USB 2.0 External DVD Writer is the perfect fit for all netbooks. It does this by powering the unit through the USB ports so you don’t have to carry any big and bulky power adapters, or hunt around for open power outlets.
Sporting an elegant stand design and high glossy appearance showcasing excellent craftsmanship and quality, the ASUS SDRW-08D1S-U 8x brings together high-speed data access technology and style with its attractive, vertical external DVD burner.
A user-friendly software interface allows users to easily burn discs; allowing users to simply drag and drop data into the thumbnail layout when they are burning documents and media into a new disc. Users seeking to protect their data will appreciate the Disc Encryption technology, which allows users to password-protect an entire disc or its partial contents with 128-bit encryption.
Featuring the ASUS Turbo Engine, it increases the connection performance between the USB cable and the optical drive. Traditionally, the computer’s bandwidth slows down conventional optical disc drives while reading or writing data. With Turbo Engine, the ASUS SDRW-08D1S-U is able to read and write data at the highest speed.
The sleek trapezoidal design with a small footprint makes the DVD writer very attractive. However, style does come with a cost making it more expensive than other similar drives. If you are in need of a stylish external DVD drive, then the slim ASUS SDRW-08D1S-U 8x DVD Writer is the perfect complement to your netbook.
