ASUS BW-16D1HT 16X Blu-ray Writer with M-DISC Support

The ASUS BW-16D1HT is a Blu-ray writer designed for anyone who needs quick disc creation and dependable data preservation. Installed internally through a SATA connection, the drive reaches up to 16X writing speed on standard Blu-ray media, so large video projects, system backups, or photo collections can be moved off your hard drive in minutes.

For archives that must stand the test of time, this drive works with M-DISC media. When you burn to an M-DISC, the data layer becomes permanently engraved, offering durability that independent tests rate at more than 1,000 years. Families safeguarding home movies, creative professionals delivering masters to clients, and offices maintaining compliance records all benefit from this longevity.

Capacity is equally impressive. Thanks to BDXL support, the BW-16D1HT can write to discs that hold up to 128GB. A single disc can store an entire season of high-definition video, an extensive library of raw photos, or decades of financial documents, giving you a tidy, shelf-ready archive instead of a stack of standard discs.

Everyday operation is straightforward. ASUS includes a drag-and-burn interface that guides you through three simple steps: add your files, choose your disc, and click burn. Security is handled at the drive level through optional password control and encoded file names, so private information stays protected even if a disc leaves your hands.

When the drive is idle, ASUS E-Green technology automatically lowers power draw. This saves electricity over the long run, an advantage for workstations that stay on around the clock or home rigs where efficiency matters.
