Started well, dies quickly [Posted on 2008-01-17]
After not using the unit for quite a bit of time, I plugged them back in and surprise! they no longer eject discs. My discs are trapped in the unit. You have to unscrew and pull it apart to get them out. It appears a cheap little rubber belt gets loose and your SOL. Thanks Imation!

Easy to use with provided software. Somewhat limited as to use with a database such as Collectorz Movie database. Very dependable unit on the whole. Definitely plan on purchasing more units (3 so far) in the very near future.

After having bought 3 of the Disc Stakkas and having major issues with 1 and beginning to have issues with another, I have come to the conclusion of NOT buying any further units. I may just go back to soft sided CD cases and a pen and paper. Totally disappointed with the Stakkas. Royal pain to remove discs from a failed unit. I have to keep one unit with the cover off just to be able to spin the unit for a "reset". First unit I bought is still working fine though. 3rd unit just sits there with the green LED lit. My advice: if you have the time to fiddle with them, get them. If not, run away FAST! Time to try Ziotec again!

Don't buy this [Posted on 2008-05-02]
This item is very poorly made and prone to fail. It didn't work out of the box, wouldn't eject any disc. Buyer beware. Don not purchase one of these!!!
Works as promised but only if you are lucky... [Posted on 2008-09-03]
I bought 3 stakkas on sale at $39 each (refurbished) a few months ago and so far, they have worked without any major issues. A friend of mine bought one at the same time as me and was not as lucky. As others have experienced, he had problems ejecting stored discs which from what I was told, was caused by misalignment of the motor/drive belt during rough shipment. My friend returned his unit (he did not want to go through the hassle of troubleshooting it). As long as your stakka was not shaked around, it should work as promised. It took a while to enter all of my DVDs into the OpdiTracker software but it was worth the effort. All 200+ of my data DVDs/CDs are now accessible within seconds. The database softare is bare bones but it does the trick of locating and ejecting your discs efficiently. I would pass on purchasing if you have to pay full price ($99) which averages $1 per disc for the convenience. I think this is a little too steep for the average Joe who just want to organize his DVD collection. However, business users might find it worth the price. I noticed a few reviewers mentioned that their Stakkas started to fail after one year. I will post an update a year from now to confirm if this is an inherent issue with the Stakkas.
