Slim DVD Burner for USB-C Laptops

The ASUS ZenDrive V1M is a slim external DVD writer that connects through a USB-C port. It targets owners of modern ultraslim notebooks that lack an internal optical drive but still need to read or write discs.

8X DVD and 24X CD Write Speeds

The drive writes DVD+R, DVD+RW and DVD-R at 8X and DVD-RW at 6X. Dual-layer DVD recording reaches 6X. CD-R and CD-RW burn at 24X. M-DISC support allows archival storage rated for up to 1000 years on compatible media.

USB-C Interface and Cable Storage

A built-in 24 cm USB-C cable stores inside the chassis for travel. The interface limits maximum throughput to the USB 2.0 signalling rate, so sustained transfer tops out well below the write speeds of faster internal drives. Blu-ray read or write is not supported.

Questions about this item

Will the USB-C ZenDrive V1M work with my older laptop that only has USB-A ports?

You need a USB-C to USB-A adapter or cable; the drive itself only has a built-in 24 cm USB-C cable.

How can I confirm the drive is burning at the rated 8X DVD+R speed after I set it up?

Watch the progress bar in CyberLink Power2Go or Nero BackItUp — it shows the active write speed during a burn.

Does the box include any discs or only the drive, cable and software?

The package contains the slim DVD burner, its integrated 24 cm USB-C cable and a software suite with CyberLink Power2Go, PowerBackup 2, Nero BackItUp and E-Green; blank discs are sold separately.
