The same device will offer differing levels of
available storage depending on the chosen RAID level. If RAID 0 is used, the
system combines the capacity of all SSDs in order to enhance data-transfer
speeds. The available storage will equal the combined physical capacity of
all the SSDs on the device. However, if the device is configured with RAID
1, two copies of the data are saved simultaneously in order to protect your
data if one SSD fails. As a result, the available storage capacity will be
half of the combined physical storage capacity, as half the storage is used
for backup copies. For example, a device with two 1 TB SSDs in a RAID 0
configuration will have 2 TB of available storage capacity, but with RAID 1
the available storage capacity will be 1 TB.
Note that the supplied accessory box is
manufactured from recyclable paperboard. The condition of this material will
naturally deteriorate over time and is not covered by an ASUS warranty.
Check your accessory box regularly and, when it is no longer suitable to be
used as a laptop stand, please dispose of it responsibly.
ASUS Control Center is optional and its
availability varies according to country. Please check with your local ASUS

Crafted to perfection
The magnesium-lithium alloy used in
ExpertBook B9 is durable yet lightweight, resulting in a laptop that’s
16% lighter than the previous model3. The
chassis is methodically-crafted, undergoing a complex 21-stage process
to create its tough, but exquisite, exterior.

CNC-milled for strength
To create the precision-cut lid and
complex keyboard surround of ExpertBook B9, a high-precision CNC-milling
process is used to shape single pieces of solid metal. This reduces
unnecessary internal voids, rendering the entire chassis tougher and
stronger than is possible using traditional metal-stamping methods.
First impressions count
The ASUS design team incorporated
architectural elements into the design of ExpertBook B9, with precisely
shaped corners and edges giving it a clean, elegant look. Star Black
finish is unique too, taking inspiration from the universe and stars in
the night sky to create a color that exudes both mystery and wisdom. The
finish is iridescent, with tinges of red and green appearing depending
on how light strikes the surface, while small shining particles embedded
in the finish resemble stars. This stylish design goes against the
reputation of typical business laptops being plain and boring.
RAID technology
RAID, or Redundant Array of Independent
Disks, is a storage technology that allows multiple drives to behave as
one. ExpertBook B9 supports both RAID 0 and RAID 1 levels19 for superior performance for improved
data security. The former stripes data stored evenly across two drives
for up to 2x faster operations.7 The
latter, by contract, automatically creates an exact copy of all data on
both disks — so if one should fail, it’s quick and easy to recover from
the other.

the display is showing a static image, and saves energy by shutting down
the video processor and its circuitry. This lower power consumption
allows a much longer battery life.
Webcam shield
To safeguard personal privacy and
business information against malicious hackers, ExpertBook B9 has an
integrated privacy shield that simply slides over the webcam for instant
privacy.
AI noise-canceling technology in the MyASUS app
The AI Noise-Canceling Mic feature in the
MyASUS app effectively filters out unwanted ambient noise There are two
modes: Single-presenter mode allows the voice directly in front of the
PC to be heard clearly; while Multi-presenter mode clarifies speech from
different direction, ensuring optimum quality for group conference
calls. The AI Noise-Canceling Speaker feature filters out all ambient
noise apart from human speech — so you’ll hear what everyone else is
saying.
Control conferencing with a simple click
ExpertBook B9 also features shortcut keys
to quickly enable the AI noise-canceling technology or mute the
microphones, ensuring that conferencing is slick and safe.
