A reasonable product for DVD storage.

Getting a quality product in which you can properly store DVDs in is getting harder and harder.  This is one of them that are fairly easy to find. It describes itself as able to store 27 DVDs, which it does secure and snug and provides reasonable protection to the product. They also stack well, up to five high. The only flaws are a moving part clasp that comes off and/or breaks too easily and of the three products I use for media storage, this is the first one where the shell will break.  I nonetheless recommend it.
It also includes a removable support brace for partially full cases, which is handy until you've suddenly developed a collection of twenty of these products and now need a separate bin to store the support braces.
The product also claims to be able to store 32 CDs in the traditional jewel case.  I have tried it, and the extra gap space on either side can make them rattle loosely. I recommend something snugger for CDs.
The product labeling also describes them good for storage of photographs, if you're the kind of person still getting them developed and handed back to you at the local photo-mart.  It also says its good for 15 VHS tapes, which I haven't tested.
Overall a decent product and one I recommend for DVD storage.

I'm repackaging most of my infrequently-played dvd collection from factory boxes to these, and saving myself gob tons of shelf space.  They are large enough and sturdy enough--if one exercises care loading them--to contain everything that came with the DVD.  They also hold the myriad stuff that comes with multiple DC sets, so I'm using for that as well.

It is a good quality external enclosure for a notebook DVD drive.
It may be a little tricky for those not used to taking apart electronics.
And the fit is a teeny bit off for the front face.
But it does what it says.
I do wish it could just get all power from the USB port instead of requiring
an additional power supply cable.
But for READ and PLAYBACK it only needs 1 of the cables.

I'm not a connoisseur of CD/DVD wallets. I just wanted one that was cheap and would hold a bunch of old discs I can't seem to convince myself to part with. To that extent, this is a great product. It has a large capacity, seems fairly durable, and has a good quality zipper. It isn't flashy, but I don't really see why that would be necessary.

These discs have been performing flawlessly in a stand-alone DVD recorder, for both audio and video reproduction.  Playback has also been fine, in every DVD player or computer that has been used.

The price is slightly lower than most others, because the disks are not labeled, and the stacks do not contain a storage spindle.  This is not a problem, if you have other means of organizing your blank or completed disks; but can be a hassle if you normally leave them on the spindle prior to use.

Good disks, at a good price- without the frills.

Overall, I'm happy with this item.  It's a sturdy box with a smooth gliding drawer.  I currently have all three of mine stacked on top of each other.  The included accessories make it so they attach to one another and well enough that you don't feel like they're going to easily tip over or anything.  For the price, these are a good way to store your CD/DVDs if you don't have to worry about covers and whatnot.

These are not for heavy duty use like the original cases for DVDs or CDs would be but I expected that.  In other words, they're flimsy but they do what they need to do: store CDs and DVDs. None have broken (yet?)...

I just bought this DVD player, and right out of the box it does what it claims to do.  It's a simple unit, made for no frills use.  I partly wanted this as a replacement for our old Philips DVD player of 7 years (which continues to work fine despite my past issues with other Philips electronics).  But the main reason for buying this is to use it with my stereo system (by the TV, also) to play MP3-coded CD's.  Overall, for the price, this was a fair purchase.  Here's why:

Pro's:
-low cost
-excellent sound quality of audio and MP3 discs
-mulitple sound and video settings to choose from
-simple operation and set up
-easy navigation of features
-slim design

Con's:
-narrow remote range; must point remote deliberately and carefully
-slow response time between operations (selecting chapters, etc.)
-lack of sync between audio and video
-no tray-open control from remote (negligible complaint, really)

Simple, effective solution to store miscellaneous items.

To be clear, this is NOT an external DVD burner. This is an external housing for an internal laptop DVD burner to be used as an external.

This is an all plastic enclosure. It is not made to be beat around much but will do fine for it's intended use. Be aware, when I received mine I stupidly did not check the opening as well as I should have else I would have noticed a small small square of spongy packing inside the enclosure and when I slid my drive in it jammed. The enclosure is something of a snug fit as is and took some work to pull it back out to remove the packing. Once cleared the drive slid into with a bit of slight twisting as the contacts were not mating properly but once they lined up it slid into place. There are no screws as the grip of the connection in the enclosure as well as the snug fit are mosr effective in keeping it well in place. If your drive does not have a flat face plate one is included to use and should simply snap into place replacing the one already on your DVD drive.

For me, other than the mishap I blame myself for it was not as difficult as I expected after reading some reviews. I bought it for price since I will rarely use it but this way when I do need to have a DVD drive I have one at ready. It comes with the cables you need. One is for USB and another is for USB power if needed.

Is a cheap way to get a USB 3.0 interface external DVD drive if you happen to have an internal laptop DVD drive in need of a housing.

If your computer beats the minimum system requirenments, you will have no problems with your DVD. The write and rewrite options work good, no bad cd's so far. For the current price, you can pretty much get the same value.  This drive is optimal if you have limited bays, or just don't want to buy  seperate drives. Over all, this is a good value. Works fine with the right  pc. Even though, I don't suggest buying this just for watching movies or  just for making cd's.

These are a great tool if you just want to store DVDs in as small a space as possible.  Because they are so thin, I don't think the case will provide much protection in an "off-the-shelf" environment since the cases are really, really flexible and don't add any stiffness to protect the dvd's housed inside.  So, I didn't like the product, but it might be just what others want if all you are concerned about is space-saving storage.

This is a nice, economical M Disc writer and external optical drive.  As some have mentioned about the two USB cables on the device, I have used others that needed the extra power to work and write at the same time.  This is not a problem for me and I prefer it over one that requires and external power source (plugging it into the wall).

The case is plastic - but that makes for a lighter drive.  At it's price point, it's an economical M Disc solution. which also works with regular CDs / DVDs.  This drive does not support BluRay, so if you need that solution you'll need to look for another drive.

A nice optical drive for my MacBook Pro and iMac and my Mom's PC Laptop.  For it's extra capability - 5 stars.

I needed someplace to store all of my DVDs that I don't have the heart to get rid of. This fits the bill.  It holds them all nicely, and the material seems very well-made and sturdy. The plastic casing that holds the discs seems to do a good job of holding the discs in place without them getting stuck there. As this does have a relatively high capacity, the carrying case is split into two 60 disc sections, so if you open the case there are 60 discs on the left, 60 on the right and a small amount of unused book binding between. Overall, it does what I expected and it does it well.

I got this and immediately put it together.  It went together easy and quickly, with some extra hardware.  For a mix of DVDs and Blu-Ray discs, you bascially get 6 shelves of three cubes.  Each cube holds about 19 DVDs or 21 Blu-Rays.  The shelf system is basically in two parts, the upper and lower.  Because of this, the 'middle' shelf is NOT adjustable.  It is set.  You cannot combine the extra height from below with the extra height from above and slide in another set of shelves.  If you are just doing the small blu-ray boxes, you might also get an extra shefl.  If the construction was a little different, either added couple of inches on the bottom or having a large side with a movable middle shelf, I could get in another shelf.

With all that said, it is still a nice unit.  If you are storing CDs, there are extra shelves and you can get closer to the 756 claimed in the name of the unit.  If you are doing a mix of DVDs and Blu-Rays, you can probably get about 350ish disks.  I got less because the bottom shelves of the bottom section for me is full of a bunch of box sets.

Good product that could be better if it had a bit different construction.  Knowing what I know, I would still purchase this unit; but with my collection, I might see if there is one larger.  I have room for about 25 more movies and wanted more space to grow.

It is nice to know that someone has this product.  It is much stronger then other product I have bought in order to store my DVDs.  I just may reorder this product in the near future.

After purchasing an Acer Netbook from Amazon I realized that I needed an external DVD drive as a backup for the operating system. The Samsung does the job well and inexpensively. A good buy.
