It's compatible with most DVDs and CDs, offering a read and write speed of 8x and 24x respectively, and supports M-Discs for lifetime protection. For your convenience, mini-USB to USB-A and mini-USB to USB-C cables are included so you can use it with a variety of systems via its mini-USB 2.0 port. Moreover, it's bus-powered so no external power sources are required.

The ASUS ZenDrive 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.
