ASUS BW-16D1HT Blu-ray drive 16X

16X Blu-ray Writer with M-DISC

The ASUS BW-16D1HT writes Blu-ray media at up to 16X speed, completing a 25GB backup in roughly 8 minutes. It supports M-DISC for archival storage rated up to 1,000 years and BDXL discs holding up to 128GB per disc. E-Green technology reduces drive power consumption by over 50% during operation.

Archival Users and High-Capacity Backups

This drive suits anyone needing long-term optical archiving with M-DISC or single-disc capacities up to 128GB via BDXL. The password control and encoded file name features add a layer of data security for sensitive backups. Buyers who require faster write speeds than 16X or need a drive without internal bay installation should consider other options.

16X Maximum Blu-ray Write Speed

The 16X write speed is the key specification determining if this drive meets your performance needs for Blu-ray authoring. M-DISC and BDXL support define the maximum media compatibility and archival lifespan available. Verify that your burning software supports these formats before purchase.
