Highlights
Quality
Generally works well, is quite lightweight, easy to carry around.
Light, plug and play, external dvd reader/writer.
0 ports it may not have enough power to burn discs.
I eventually installed it and found that while it wasn't ransomware, many of the features were disabled because it's not the full product.
Price
Price might be higher, but, you pay more, you get more, if you pay less, you get less.
Took a chance on this drive due to the price.

Asus is reliable so its my go to brand for computer parts.

Honestly, i've tried 4 other brands, before i bought this one.
