ASUS SCB-2408-D CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo Burner Review

The undisputable advantages of the ASUS SCB-2408-D drive are its compact size, small weight, support of two interfaces, ability to work with DVD media of the two competing formats, and efficiency at processing C2 errors.

On the downside, there is the too high offset value. Even with the highest quality score in the audio extraction test, the high offset may negatively tell on the quality of the audio copies you make with this drive. The speed characteristics of the SCB-2408-D combo-drive are rather low for it to compete with modern full-size external and internal devices of that class, so it targets specifically users who need a very compact optical drive. The rather high price of the device also differentiates it from other models, making it a not very optimal choice unless you are really interested in getting the smallest optical combo-drive possible.
