A:AnswerThe ASUS SDRW‑08D2S‑U can be used in a car or truck only when connected to a laptop or powered USB hub, but it cannot function standalone or directly with most car stereos. Stable power and minimal vibration are essential for reliable operation.
A:AnswerYes it does RIP an audio CD. I used Foobar 2000 on a Win 10 Dell laptop for this. I think others will have experience with DVDs if you're interested in that capaility.
A:AnswerYes, the ASUS SDRW‑08D2S‑U portable 8X DVD burner will work. It connects via USB, reads CDs, and allows you to create an image file or copy the contents to your laptop for upload.
A:AnswerYes, the ASUS SDRW-08D2S-U can save text documents and other files by writing them to compatible discs such as CD-R, CD-RW, DVD±R, or DVD±RW. To do this, you'll need disc-burning software and a writable disc.
A:AnswerThis is an impossible question to answer given that computers are so varied, from main frame to Sinclair. So the pedantic answer, I suppose is no. But it should work with all recent Windows systems or Apple if the ports are compatible. I personally used a Surface Laptop and made sure that I had the right ports. I downloaded music to iTunes, which I had installed already and then all the music was available on my iPhone. Hope that helps clear up the mystery.
