Super slim external DVD burner from ASUS

ASUS has announced the release of the SDRW-08U5S-U external DVD burner. It is a great portable optical drive that boasts the thinnest design in its category, at just 13mm thick. The design also includes a built-in concealed stand that not only saves space, but also supports horizontal and vertical placement to help make the work environment more tidy. ASUS also contributes greatly to data protection with security precautions such as password protection and encryption, or handling encrypted file names. The SDRW-08U5S-U will be available in silver, peach and raspberry.

The SDRW-08U5S-U required serious engineering performance to reach a thickness of 13 millimeters. In addition to making the device look extremely attractive, it also contributes to easier portability and better usability, as the SDRW-08U5S-U is comfortable to carry and place anywhere, making it a great addition to ultrabooks and other mobile devices.

Following the award-winning tradition of external ASUS optical drives, the SDRW-08U5S-U rhymes with ASUS ZENBOOK machines. The hair-thin concentric circular pattern of meticulously crafted metal surfaces and the blade-thin design - both emblematic elements of the Zen concept - make the SDRW-08U5S-U extremely unique, which stands out from standard optical drives. The colors silver, peach and raspberry offer fashionable choices for everyone.

The built-in, openable and foldable precisely fitting support is called the hidden stand by the SDRW-08U5S-U. The owner of the device can switch between vertical or horizontal placement according to his own needs. With the built-in stand, you can save space and not have to carry special accessories with you, which makes it even more convenient to use.

ASUS implements strict Disc Encryption II security features with the SDRW-08U5S-Un. Extensive and highly customizable password protection takes advantage of reliable encryption to keep intruders away from valuable stored data, enhanced by the ability to use encrypted file names.

The SDRW-08U5S-U will go on sale in mid-April and will only be available in silver for the first time. The other two colors are expected to appear all over the world in mid-May.
