These features are packed in a design that won the IF Award in 2011. Inspired by miniature-sized architectural shapes, it has an elegant and sleek rectangular case and a sleek base that makes it slightly slanted. Thanks to the base, the burner can be positioned both vertically and horizontally, making the burner particularly space-saving and versatile.

The ASUS SBW-06D2X-U Blu-ray Drive offers a variety of technical innovations and features in a highly user-friendly overall concept. The combination of stylish housing and innovative functions makes this an optimal solution for both the professional life as well as the multimedia entertainment home. The sound quality is extremely high thanks to the lossless signal quality of Dolby Digital EX and DTS-HD (5.1 channels).

Thanks to the BDXL format, mass data can be burned onto a single Blu-ray Disc; i.e. up to 100 GB on a BD-R (TL) and 128 GB on a BD-R (QL). The turbo engine allows a 6-times Blu-ray burning speed, in XL format at least up to 2 times the speed. The Auto Tuning Power technology offers the optimized performance to burn a disc in the best quality possible.

Safety first, no matter if in the professional or in the private sector. It is important to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access. The integrated Disc Encryption II feature provides double protection of the data to be protected. It can protect the entire disk or just parts of it with a password. Furthermore, with Disc Encryption II, the user can hide the visibility of his or her data so that even if the disc falls into unauthorized hands, it can not discern which data is on it. The data is encrypted with 128-bit AES. Only authorized users with the correct password gain access to the protected data.

With the user-friendly interface, users can burn a Blu-ray Disc in just three easy steps. With 3D support, the user experiences spectacular Blu-ray 3D video and 3D photos. With Magic Cinema technology, DVD video is scaled up to full HD 1080p.

Thanks to the support of Blu-ray media, film enjoyment in HD resolution on the PC is no longer a problem. The drive reads pleasantly quietly at up to 6x speed BD-ROMs and also supports 3D Blu-rays. With the appropriate hardware, so in your own home a great 3D cinema experience can be organized.
