## Long description

The ASUS SDRW-08U5S-U Pink is an ultra-thin external DVD Super Multi DL optical drive designed for laptops and ultrabooks. At just 12 mm thick and weighing 0.255 kg, it supports USB 2.0 connection and offers 8X DVD writing speed and 24X CD writing speed, with average random access time around 160 ms for both DVD and CD-ROM. The drive features a Zen-inspired design in pink and a built-in hidden stand for horizontal or vertical placement, and includes Disc Encryption and password-controlled hidden-file functionality for added data protection.
