Archival writer for lifetime backups

The ASUS BW-16D1HT is an internal Blu-ray burner that writes BD-R discs at 16X and BD-RE at 2X. It also handles DVD+R and DVD-R at 16X, CD-R at 48X and DVD-RAM at 5X. M-DISC support lets you create records rated for long-term preservation. The SATA interface fits standard desktop bays.

Step up from slower DVD or BD-RE drives

This unit replaces older writers that top out at 8X BD-R or 8X DVD speeds. The jump is worth it when you regularly archive large photo libraries, video projects or system images to single-layer or dual-layer Blu-ray media. It reads BD-ROM at 8X and DVD-ROM at 16X for faster verification.

Steady throughput on long sessions

E-Green technology closes the drive when idle to cut power draw. The 180 ms BD-ROM access time stays consistent across extended write cycles. Horizontal or vertical mounting within a 12-degree tolerance keeps operation stable. Minimum system needs include a 3.4 GHz Pentium D 945 CPU, 1 GB RAM and 10 GB free hard-disk space.

How is the SATA Blu-ray burner installed, and what step is often missed?
