ASUS is releasing the SDRW-08U5S-U external DVD writer, an ulta-slim (13mm) portable optical drive. Its design includes a built-in hidden stand that saves space while enabling dual-stance horizontal and vertical placement. For data protection, ASUS integrates multiple security measures, with password controls and encryption alongside encoded file name functionality. The SDRW-08U5S-U ships in Metallic, Dusty Rose, and Bright Berry color options.



The drive achieves a very slender 13mm side profile for easy carrying, making it a convenient companion for Ultrabooks and other mobile devices.
