Disk is quite sturdy, handles less so

Yep.  Disk is quite sturdy, handles less so, not quite as fast as a tube but plenty of fun.  Would buy again.

Easy to put together, rolls smoothly.  Capacity satisfactory.  My main objection is that it tips when trying to unload

The speed and capacity of the drive is what I would have expected. No issues there. I am using this for media and plug in behind a TV, which poses some issues as the there is no locking mechanism for the drive when it is pushed out. Actually, it is a bit of a chore to plug into any USB slot as you have to push hard on the sliding mechanism to keep it from going immediately back into its case.

When cleaning up my Father's belongings, I came upon a number of stray diskettes. As tempted as I was to simply toss them, I broke down and bought this drive to see if anything on the disks could be salvaged, let alone if they contained any worthwhile content. The drive worked perfectly on my Linux Ubuntu system and is indeed simply plug and play -- no need for any bloatware drivers.

While many of the disks wouldn't play and displayed errors, I did find one disk from 1995 containing old typed letters, etc. which was of great value. I got a few errors when trying to copy all the files at once, so instead copied them individually -- that worked error free. It was time consuming, but that disk alone was well worth the cost of the drive.

I also stumbled on a set of backup disks form 1993. They were stored well and I was able to successfully copy all the backup files off of all 25 of the disks.  I've yet to tackle trying to figure out how to extract the files from the backup format. Still, points must go to the drive for getting me this far.

So far, this has been a great HD.  Small, quiet, sturdy and sleek.  Plus it matches the gloss black HP laptops nicely.  Just don't bump it while it's working as that will most likely decrease its lifespan, but that goes for any HD.  The white light is kind of bright, but  not unbearable if faced to the rear.

While I am quite impressed with its looks and functionality, I can't give it 5 stars due to it's slower transfer rate than my Seagate FreeAgent drive.  The transfer rate is not gawd-awful, but it is noticeably slower, perhaps because it is USB powered.  I'm not the one to hang around when transferring huge files anyway, so I just come back later and it's done.

does as it's supposed to, makes it easy to change disks

The product is great in terms of speed and compactness.

USB cord is kind of short, but this is not a big deal at all and it makes sense (fits in the hard drive bag). I wish the drive had a grippy surface - it has feet but they're not great. I also wish the bag had some padding and wasn't as smooth for the same reasons above. I'm just really afraid I'm going to drop this thing or it'll fall off something.

While this a quality built CD storage unit, I wish it had a lock position to keep the door closed.  If you drop this unit, the disks will spill or fall out.  However, once the disked are stored on a shelf, you probably will not handle the unit except to clean the shelf it resides on.

nice CD and DVD bookcase, a bit weak, not easy to move around.https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51iigWTAVqL._SS300_.jpg

Very small, sturdy size. I got the 256GB brand. Formatted as exfat and when I plug into any Windows it asks me to re-format. Have no trouble on macs though. I would recommend the other thumb drive however. Sometimes, speed seems like it is slow to transfer on here and also these flash drives heat up after a few seconds of being plugged in. Don't think that harms anything but definitely unexpected.
I did try to work off of this drive with a Final Cut Pro library on it, and it kept crashing/ ejecting. Wouldn't let me work off of it even though it is USB 3.0.

This drive holds a ton and takes up virtually no space.  The small plastic cover can be tough to remove.

I just got this drive today. It had no trouble connecting right up with my new Acer Aspire One and playing a music CD and a DVD. I haven't tried burning anything yet. The drive is nice and slim and ultra portable--no additional power cables needed beyond the two USB cords, but seems a bit fragile. The drive access door definitely needs careful handling!

I did not receive any software or CDs with the drive--just the unit and the two USB cables and the card with the (laughable) instructions. It wouldn't seem any additional software is needed though, as I had no trouble.

All in all, this would seem to be a good value for the price. I'm happy with it. :)

This 64gb drive is great for taking files,pics,or music along with you wherever you go. I am very pleased with the speed of this drive considering the size. It was also a great deal when it was the "deal-of-the-day".  After receiving it I was very disappointed in the quality. Not very solid. Feels cheap.  But it works. Still a good buy at this price!

I bought this one and the 120 disc version and I like the smaller one better.  It's not about the capacity it's a little cumbersome to use.

I bought this as an external drive to backup my thesis project on. I've dropped it twice too and it's still kicking. I'm trying not to drop it again b/c I'm certain that it will not be ok, fingers crossed

I've had this drive for a couple months now, and have been busy with it doing pretty intensive file analysis, moving data constantly to/from it. I've only turned it off a couple times, and it's holding up very nicely.

It's my first SimpleTech product, and by its performance and stability, I would recommend it and will likely be getting a second soon. I only wish it's form factor was easily stackable, as my storage needs increase with time.

From  reading other reviews, looks like I got the newer version of this DVD storage case.  With about 50 DVDs in it, mine looks pretty full.  The sleeves are thin and a bit tight, but thinking that you want that to retain the DVD's.  I'm OK with this case for now, but it does seem to be a little flimsy.
