Bios Reviews Imation's Disc Stakka
Posted by James Fee in "ARTICLE" @ 01:00 PM
"Imation's Disc Stakka is an automated carousel that stores, protects and retrieves your 12cm optical discs, including data CDs, DVDs, music and game discs. Each unit holds up to 100 discs and connects to your computer via USB for both power and data. You can even stack units up to five high to create a tower that holds up to 500 discs without requiring additional cabling or desk space. However, £99.99 (ex. VAT) is a lot to pay for a storage box that can't read from discs, especially as there's some great cataloguing software available for free. The device could be ideal for businesses and individuals inundated with optical media, but it's a real shame it can't be used a disc jukebox. Having said that, this functionality would increase the design and price of the unit dramatically. If you're looking for a high-tech way to store, manage and protect your discs from dirt, UV, loss, theft, and improper handling, the Disc Stakka should fit the bill. Just don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed."
Hmm, over $100 for a storage unit? Don't think so. :roll:
