  • The Asus SBC-04D1S-U does exactly what you'd expect without any hassle. It installs and runs without drivers or software, only needs a single USB port to operate, and does not require any additional power source except for two USB ports in the rare cases...

  • I have to say that I was more than a little skeptical of the Asus External Blu-ray drive. In past experiences with external USB optical drives I have seen poor playback performance when trying to display any type of high resolution content. The problem...
