Model overview based on user reviews  
The Asus SDRW-08D2S-U is a stylish and high-performance external optical drive that excels in reading and writing various disc formats, including CD-R, CD-RW, DVD±R, DVD±RW, and DVD-RAM. It operates smoothly with a single USB connection, eliminating the need for additional power sources. Users appreciate its reliable performance, even with older discs, and its ability to boot from a disc without issues. The device's sleek design is enhanced when placed vertically, though this can make disc insertion slightly challenging with one hand. While it functions well on most systems, there have been reports of compatibility issues with Mac computers, potentially requiring additional drivers. The included USB cable may be too short for desktop setups. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Asus SDRW-08D2S-U is praised for its durability, having successfully recorded thousands of discs over extended use. The smooth surface is prone to fingerprints, but they are easy to clean. Overall, it is considered a great model, particularly for those needing an external drive due to the absence of built-in options on modern laptops.

great model, love it
20 April 2014 
Since neither my laptop nor my wife's laptop has an optical drive, we had to get an external one. The price is a bit high, but it's justified by the stylish design and very high performance. The smooth surface does collect fingerprints easily, but they are not difficult to remove. Note that the USB cable included is a bit short. It's fine for a laptop, but if you need to connect it to a desktop, it might not be long enough.
Reads discs confidently, even those that were recorded a long time ago. It also writes them well. A nice-looking device. It looks particularly cool if you place it vertically. However, in a vertical position, it's a bit tricky to insert discs with one hand. You can boot from a disc without any issues. It works from a single USB, no need to use additional power. Throughout the usage period, there hasn't been a single glitch.
For some reason, it refuses to work on Mac. Tested on two computers. Maybe drivers need to be installed? But ideally, additional drivers shouldn't be needed for an optical drive. And where to get them?

I've been using a couple of them for a couple of years. Recorded at least a thousand discs. While it works. Before that, there was Trance ..., he died very quickly.
There may be, but I don't know about them.
