ASUS has taken a fairly basic USB Blu-ray drive and given it a high-gloss makeover. The SBC-04B1S-U isn’t gonna wow you with 4.8x maximum Blu-ray disc reading, 8x DVD burning, a USB 2.0 connection, and Windows compatibility.  The bright blue ‘X’ on the unit flashes and has a dedicated app to control brightness.

The SBC-04B1S-U isn’t fancy stuff — 4.8x maximum Blu-ray disc reading, 8x DVD burning, a USB 2.0 connection, and Windows (but not OS X) compatibility. The bright blue ‘X’ on the side also flashes and has a dedicated app just to control its brightness.
