With their innovative technologies and impressive performance, these drives have been popular right from the start.
Like most drive manufacturers, ASUS has begun to focus on the growing Blu-ray Disc market. The company recently introduced its first external slim Blu-ray Disc writer, the SBW-06C1S-U.
