Imation Disc Stakka - CD/DVD Management Tool
Imation Disc Stakka - CD/DVD Management Tool Never waste valuable time searching for discs again. The Imation Disc Stakka is an automated carousel that stores, protects and retrieves all of your 12 cm optical discs, making lost or damaged discs a thing of the past. Each Disc Stakka unit holds 100 discs and you can stack units up to 5 high to create a tower that holds up to 500 discs. This tower links to your computer via a single USB connection, and the bundled OpdiTracker software lets you find and eject any discs in seconds. It’s the simple and efficient way to manage your CD and DVD library.
Customer Review: Good idea, poor engineering
Even when I realized that it were merely a storage device (not a reader), Disk Stakka still seemed interesting. But then… within 5 minutes I realized it couldn’t eject any disc I inserted. After calling 3M, they suggested an “automatic calibration” probably because “the plate must have been misaligned with the ejecting slot”. It worked at first but started to fail after another 5 minutes. Surprisingly, “auto-calibrating” the device again - a 10 minutes process - worked for the next 2 ejects. Afterwards it refused to eject unless you “calibrate it” again. I asked for a replacement unit to 3M and they said that since I’ve bought it online on eBay (it was sealed and brand new - mind this), they couldn’t do anything to help me. By the way: they don’t offer any kind of repair service on this product. Even if you’re willing to pay (like me). If it breaks on you, you’re on your own.
