Just a heads up-

Asus' USB DVD drives 'with USB-C' are not USB-C, they have a crappy MicroUSB to USB-C cable included in the box.

So if you wanted one with USB-C on the device- DO NOT BUY ASUS.

    Just curious how you think this will impact performance? Reading of a DVD or CD would not be a nottleneck due to what USB interface used, its always going to be the device its self so it really doesnt matter at all. If anything props to them for at least updating to the latest to maximize compatibility.

    It won't impact performance, but microusb is dead. Apart from this dvd drive, I haven't used microusb in ~2 years.

    Microusb might as well be proprietary to me at this point, I have 'infinite' usb-c to usb-c data cables (and at one point, I did for microusb too...) but only 2 working microusb cables now, I never wanted to have to buy another one.
