KEY POINTS

Singapore (19th April,
2016) — ASUS today announced ZenDrive U7M (SDRW-08U7M-U), an ultra-slim external USB DVD
writer with M-DISC® archival media support. Designed to help users protect their lifelong
memories ­— such as family photos and home videos — M-DISC DVDs can store data
for 1,000 years or more[1], giving the peace of mind that these important
moments will be safe for generations to come. ZenDrive U7M comes with two free
M-DISC DVDs[2], so users can get started preserving their
priceless memories and important data immediately.

ZenDrive U7M is stylish with an incredibly slim
13mm form factor, making it the perfect companion for thin and light laptops.
Its sleek, Zen-inspired design with the signature ASUS concentric-circle finish
adds sophisticated aesthetics to any computer setup.

With bundled disc-burning software that is
intuitive yet robust, ZenDrive U7M is a complete backup solution for all the
user’s important data. It also comes with Nero BackItUp® for Android
— a full backup solution for Android smartphones and tablets to protect data on
mobile devices — and unlimited ASUS WebStorage space free for six months.

ASUS
ZenDrive U7M supports M-DISC, an archival-quality storage solution created by Millenniata,
Inc. that works by laser-etching data into a patented rock-like storage layer
that is resistant to extreme light, temperature, and humidity. Compared to hard
drives, flash drives, and other writeable media — which have an average storage
lifetime of approximately eight years — M-DISC is designed to protect against
degradation and data loss for 1,000 years or more, ensuring precious memories
are kept safe for generations to come.

ASUS ZenDrive
U7M provides a complete and easy-to-use backup solution for precious digital memories
and important information. ZenDrive U7M comes with CyberLink Power2Go 8, intuitive
software that simplifies the disc-burning process and offers optional
encryption functionality to protect private files. These powerful functions, together
with support for archival-quality M-DISC media, protect information and
minimize the risk of data loss to give users complete peace of mind.

ZenDrive U7M
also comes with Nero
BackItUp for Android, a full, backup solution for Android smartphones and
tablets. With just one tap, Nero BackItUp automatically backs up a mobile
device’s contacts, messages, call logs, personal settings, songs, photos, and
videos to online storage, an SD card, or your PC, so users can keep their data
safe even if their device is lost or stolen.

Additionally,
ZenDrive U7M users are given unlimited ASUS WebStorage space free for six
months. ASUS WebStorage lets users store files online and access them easily
from any internet-connected device.
