ASUS today launched the SBW-06C2X-U external Blu-ray writer, a device that is capable of burning up to 128GB of data on a single Blu-ray disc.

The SBW-06C2X-U is an external Blu-ray writer that supports the new BDXL format. This format expands on Blu-ray discs' previous maximum capacity of 50GB up to 100GB on one BD-R(TL) disc, or 128GB on a single BD-R(QL) disc.

Fitted with ASUS Turbo Engine technology, the SBW-06C2X-U works at 6X Blu-ray writing. Intelligent auto tuning technology ensures the best burning strategy for each task.

Bundled with the SBW-06C2X-U, Magic Cinema technology enables conversion of files into 3D movies, photos and audio (in Dolby Digital and DTS-HD 5.1-channel). It also automatically converts existing 2D and DVD content to 3D if required by users.
