The ASUS ZenDrive U7C (SDRW-08U7C-U) is an external 8x DVD writer for computers without an internal disc drive. It connects via USB-C to read and write a variety of optical media. It supports 8x speeds for DVD-R and DVD+R, and 24x speeds for CD-R. You can use it to install software or create data archives. It is also compatible with M-DISC technology for long-term storage, as these discs are designed to resist environmental wear better than standard media. It is a compact solution for modern laptops and desktops that do not have an integrated drive.

The drive has a silver finish, measures 13 mm in height, and weighs 472 g. It supports various media types, including rewritable DVD-RW and dual-layer discs. It is compatible with Windows 11, 10, and macOS 10.6 or later. Three Hardcoat DVD-R discs are included for immediate use. Data management is handled by the supplied CyberLink Power2go 8 and Nero BackItUp software.
