ASUS lanserar extern DVD-brännare i slimmat format

ASUS satsar stenhårt på sin Eee PC-familj för netbook-marknaden och är det något dessa system saknar så är det bland annat en optisk enhet. Även om de flesta klarar sig utan en optisk enhet i dagsläget finns det tillfällen då det kan vara bra att ha. ASUS har nu lanserat en extern optisk enhet vid namn SDRW-08D1S-U som satsar på samma minimalistiska stil som deras Eee-familj. Enheten använder sig av ett slim-format och kommer med en elegant fot som gör att enheten tar ytterst liten plats. Den optiska enheten stödjer DVD-bränning i hastigheter upp till 8X och kopplas enkelt in till en dator genom USB-gränssnittet.

Revolutionary ASUS External Slim SDRW-08D1S-U Integrates Minimalist Style and
Great Portability for Elegant Data Mobility

manufacturer of computer peripherals and optical drives, ASUS is constantly at
the forefront of cutting edge technologies, providing users with innovative
solutions for everyday computing. In pursuing this philosophy, the new ASUS

Stylishly Simple to Use with Low Power Consumption
Sporting an elegant
stand design and high glossy appearance showcasing excellent craftsmanship and
quality, the ASUS SDRW-08D1S-U 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. Drawing power from the computer and harnessing the
transmission speeds of a USB 2.0 port, users can experience high-speed data
transfer speeds while utilizing little power, perfect for the modern computing
era.

Mobility and Disc Encryption for Trouble Free Mobility On-the-go
The ASUS
SDRW-08D1S-U acquires power from the USB port of the users’ notebook or desktop,
hence there is no need for an additional power adapter—further reinforcing its
portability. 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.

Turbo Engine
Turbo Engine 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.
