With its newest launch, the ZenDrive V1M, an external DVD drive and writer, ASUS reminds hardware fans that disc-based storage is still alive and well. ASUS’ ZenDrive V1M can be linked through USB-C and has a built-in cable storage design and a black finish, making it a fantastic match for new ultraslim laptops that lack disc drives. M-DISC (Millennial Disc), a form of single-write optical disc that can securely retain data for 1,000 years, will also be supported.
