Save precious memories for 1,000 years

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.

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 withNero 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.
