ASUS today launched the DRW-24B5ST, a DVD writer bundled with two disc burning solutions.
With E-Green and OTS technology, this disc drive consumes less energy and increases the burning rate by auto-detecting the type of disc before adjusting its power requirements to suit the task at hand. The E-Hammer and Disc Encryption II features give the users the most secure methods of data protection.
The ASUS DRW-24B5ST is the first optical disc drive to come bundled with two burning software solutions: Nero Essentials 10 and Cyberlink Power2Go 7. Nero Essentials 10 is one of the world's most popular CD/DVD recording software available in the market and in addition to the basic functions; it also comes with three special features: Discspeed utility, Infotool utility and Gracenote, a music recognition technology which automatically offers users up-to-date album and track information with each ripping of a music CD. Power2Go 7 software suite is a complete burning tool that provides users the extra credibility in file protection and encryption of data. With ASUS Disc Encryption II from Power2Go 7, users can double their backups with security measures like password control and hidden file functions. This way, users can simply lock away any partial files or an entire disc data with just a single password thus safeguarding any important documents left unattended at all times. And with the all new ASUS E-Hammer technology, it can permanently delete data thus saving the hassle of physically destroying the disc.
