Pro:

+ Speed transmission
+ Works on different devices
+ Additional Software
+ 1x Verbatim 6x BD25 blank for testing
Burn + burn speed up to 12x
+ Can also burn LTH * blanks
+ Space-saving because this is a stand
Cons:
- Dust prone
- You can see quickly small fine scratches on the case
Conclusion: For the price you get a decent external burner that can burn almost all rewritable blanks as LTH * blanks. The burner has never seen so much as had all the blanks to a blank of the burners had not recognized. Price is very good for performance and equipment who want to be more mobile with the burner but should rather have a slim burner buy that are very narrow and small, so perfect for the mobile sector.
The design looks very good especially this big blue LED. :)
I can see the ASUS burner only recommend. :)
* Low to High: These are organic blanks the cheaper in production but to the life there is still no long-term testing.
