Asus makes an all USB-C model, but it only retails in EMEA. The rest on Amazon are hybrid connections outputted to USB-C.

How do you know and what is the cost?

The last time I bought a USB CD / DVD+ drive was in 2008 when I bought two external drives for $14 each. They were on clearance on NewEgg because even back then people weren't buying them anymore and new it was getting rid of the majority of their CD/DVD/DL inventories.
I bought 3 cases of 4x100 spool discs of dynex brand dual layer DVDs from Best buy years and years(maybe 16 years?) ago during a Black Friday sale. I think they were $20 each? Despite giving six spools away to friends and family, and using them at almost every chance I could, I still only went barely through three spools (downloading Linux isos!) before the technology became obsolete.
With the price, speed and functionality of newer storage devices like USB 3.0 nvme, I can't imagine taking the time to put data on to a CD, label and then store it. If you're looking for archival storage, it's actually much better and much more reliable to store data redundantly on a mirrored partition platter hard drive, or mirrored on multiple drives with parity recovery.
If you were going to put stuff on it to give to someone, with internet speeds being what they are today, it's probably faster for somebody to simply download the same 650 MB-4.5 GB directly.
Who uses these drives and optical media today? What do you do with them?
Edit: those who thumb down are old and unable to deal with change. 🤣
Update: Oooooooollllllll..d
Teachers need these since teacher editions of textbooks still come with DVDs for supplemental materials.

Please forgive the snide remark but that's a rude manner in which to solicit knowledge.
I might have been apt to share, but what do you know? I lack compassion for impolite fools.

Sorry man I didn't mean to be rude maybe you didn't get me. I am asking how do you know about the ASUS UsB C model in Europe EMEA region did you stay there or have some friend buy genuinely curious nothing to know about your source etc. and that why I asked about cost of that UsB c model as micro usb sucks and is dated hope you now understand what I meant. I should have posted bit more to avoid misunderstanding
How fast does it need to be? It ain't gonna get close to maxing out the theoretical speed of USB2.0.
Far from staples I still have some spindles from back then
