CD Freaks reviews: The ASUS DRW-1604P DVD±RW DL drive

CD Freaks drive reviewer and moderator Wesley Novack, has just finished the review of the new ASUS 16x DVD+/-RW, the DRW-1604P. Besides its 16x DVD+/-R capabilities, this drive will write a DVD+R DL at 4x, DVD+/-RW at 4x, CD-R at 32x and CD-RW at 24x speed. It reads DVD-ROM with a maximum of 16x and CD-ROM with a maximum of 40x speed.

Here we take a look at the ASUS DRW-1604P retail package and the contents included in the bundle.

The box has a snazzy design that highlights the 16x16 DVD±R capabilities and the 4X Double Layer writing ability. Next, we opened up the box and arranged all of the contents for easy viewing.

Let us look over the contents of the retail package.

The box contains;

  • The DRW-1604P drive
  • One emergency eject pin
  • One 80 wire IDE cable
  • Mounting screws
  • Quick Installation Guide
  • User Guide (Product manual)
  • Nero OEM suite CD-ROM
  • Ulead DVD MovieFactory 3 Suite SE CD-ROM
  • Audio cable
  • ASUS motherboard flyer

This is a pretty nice bundle. Including both Nero and Ulead software packages gives the end-user the flexibility to choose their favorite CD/DVD software. The only thing we miss is one included blank DVD±R disc and preferably also one DVD rewriteable disc.  The Quick Installation guide uses very tiny text and only contains one small picture. Luckily, the included full User Guide contains better instructions and detailed pictures that will help novice users get the drive installed.
