ASUS has been making computer components for over 20 years. Best known for making excellent motherboards, ASUS has branched out into manufacturing video cards, optical drives, Small Form Factor PCs and even notebook computers. My primary gaming computer motherboard is an ASUS P5AD2-E Deluxe.

Optical drives have really come a long way since the first 1X CD-ROMs from way back when. My first optical drive was a Sony 4X CD-ROM from 1996 on a Pentium 120 MHz computer with 8 MB of RAM and a 1.2 GB HDD. Today, optical drives have progressed to 16X DVD-ROMs with the ability to read, write, rewrite. So what is the ASUS DRW-1608P all about anyway?
