ASUS BW-16D1HT Blu-ray burner 16X BD-R M-Disc BDXL 5.25

ASUS 16X Blu-ray Writer with M-Disc

This ASUS Blu-ray burner writes BD-R media at 16X speed and supports BDXL discs up to 128 GB capacity. The drive reads BD-ROM at 8X and handles DVD and CD formats at up to 12X and 48X respectively. It includes a DVD-Cloner UHD software registration code for disc authoring.

Suited for archival backups

The M-Disc compatibility targets users who need data longevity rated beyond a standard disc lifespan. Builders requiring a half-height 5.25-inch internal drive for desktop integration will find the form factor appropriate. Buyers who want more storage per disc than 128 GB or who need faster BD-RE rewrite speeds than 2X should look at something else.

16X BD-R write speed defines throughput

This single specification sets the maximum rate for recording single-layer Blu-ray media and directly affects backup window length. The 128 GB BDXL ceiling determines the largest single-disc archive possible. Together they decide whether the drive meets a specific project’s capacity and speed requirements.
