These are the correct model number on the drive but the pictures on the site do not look like them...And in the Amazon pics there is no "M Disc" on the drive trays. I first looked at the "questions/answers" on Amazon about these drives and the answers were all stating that they did not read or write M Discs at all. Could not understand why Asus would put it on the drive trays if they could do neither...So I then went to the Asus site and looked the model number up. According to Asus these DO read and write M Discs (in addition to dvd's and cd's).....The Asus site states the following:ModelDRW-24B3STColorBLACKRead Speed (max)DVD-ROM : 16XDVD+R : 16XDVD-R : 16XDVD+R(SL, M-DISC) : 12XDVD+RW : 12XDVD-RW : 12XDVD+R(DL) : 12XDVD-R(DL) : 12XCD-ROM : 48XCD-R : 48XWrite Speed (max)DVD+R : 24XDVD-R : 24XDVD+R(SL, M-DISC) : 4XDVD+RW : 8XDVD-RW : 6XDVD+R(DL) : 8XDVD-R(DL) : 8XCD-R : 48XCD-RW : 24XIt states that these drives can read M Discs at 12x and write M Discs at 4x. I purchased the drives for $22.99 each with free 2 day prime shipping....If it is all true and they read/write M Discs then I think these are one of the best deals on Amazon. Have not tried to read or write an M disc because I do not have one to try out right now...But have used the drives to burn cd's and dvd's and they work great....Will update my review after I get the opportunity to try out an M Disc....But Asus says they do work with M Discs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ok *by K***S on February 15, 2025* ok ## Frequently Bought Together - ASUS Internal 24X SATA Optical Drive DRW-24B3ST/BLK/G (Black) - Thermaltake Smart 500W 80+ White Certified PSU, Continuous Power with 120mm Ultra Quiet Cooling Fan, ATX 12V V2.3/EPS 12V Active PFC Power Supply PS-SPD-0500NPCWUS-W - Zalman T6 ATX Mid Tower Computer PC Case, Pre-Installed 120mm Fan, 5.25 ODD, USB 3.0, Patterned Mesh Design, mATX ITX for Gaming Workstation, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/834351-asus-internal-24x-sata-optical-drive-drw-24b3st-blk-g](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/834351-asus-internal-24x-sata-optical-drive-drw-24b3st-blk-g) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
