Asus Blu-Ray Component USB Drive
July 1, 2009 | Asus, Component, Computer, Portable Storage | Comments OffAsus created a new Blu-Ray USB Drive. The drive has a read speed of 4.8x for BD and can read and write CDs and DVDs. Unfortunately, it does not write comics well.

The Blu-Ray, SBC-numbered ASUS 04D1S-U comes with a stand allowing it to be mounted vertically if required. The disadvantage of the car (outside of comics writing no thing) is that the tray rather than slot that I would have expected more of this unit.
