  • PositiveSupports many formats
  • Negativefew accessories
  • Negativequite loud

Asus' drive also supports many formats, which makes the model quite flexible. The data rates for reading and writing are also quite good. However, the manufacturer charges considerably more than the accessories, which are rather meagre. In addition, the model is quite loud at work.
