Accodata QUICROM CD wallet

Advantages: Holds a lot of CD's
Disadvantages: Are my CD's going to snap?

...I bought this CD holder as my CD collection was growing quite rapidly as I started to earn a bit more money. At first I thought I would never be able to fill it. Unfortunately I am nearly completing the holder and that's when the product starts to let itself down. It only has a break half way through the CD pages, which turns out to not be enough to release all the pressure. As you fill the holder with more and more CD's you can feel them getting a tighter fit, but when you have completed over 70% of the capacity the centre CD's start to feel very unnatural to pull out, and caused me to snap one of my CD's! Fortunately it was a cheap one otherwise heads would have rolled! But that is not the only problem it has. When you reach that 70% mark the zipper starts to become harder to zip up and the sides on the case can start to show... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, durable...winner
Disadvantages: the actual cd holders are a bit flimsy

...- Classic CD wallet holds 64 CDs with liner notes - Durable materials with zippered closure to protect against the elements - Easy-flip pages lay flat for easy access to CDs - Sturdy padded carrying handle - Dimensions: 11.5 inches by 2.5 inches by 13.5 inches As far as C.d wallets go, they are much of a muchness but this stands out for value of money. For just over a tenner its a winner. This CD wallet is easy to use inside of a moving vehicle because it is thin, zips and unzips easily, and the CDs slide in nicely from the top. The back material is not plastic, but some kind of soft woven material that will not scratch your CDs. I compared this at a store with some of the cheaper Cdprojects one that had some kind of plastic bumpy material on the back of the sleeves. All in all, Im highly satisfied with my purchase and ordered... Read review

Advantages: Very fast drive. Good software and updates. Looks gorgeous.
Disadvantages: Needed firmware update (free download)

...It is easy to get skeptical as the onslaught of technology goes from 1GHz to 2GHz to 3GHz. Is it really 3 times faster? Does a 52X CD-ROM drive really read 6 times faster than an old 8X drive? Is Double Data Rate memory twice as fast as normal SDRAM? For the most part, the answer is a stonking "NO". There are overheads in all of the above, but they ARE faster, just not in a straight line from zero. So when I had to buy a CD-RW drive for my PC, I was loathe to go faster than 16X or 24X writing. After all, a 700MB data CD is 80 minutes, so 16X writing should mean it takes (quick calculation) 5 minutes to write a full CD. I usually used my old CD-RW drive about once a day, so it wasn't like I had queue of disks to write, just the odd file transfer or backup. As it happened, my supplier was out of stock on the lower speed drives... Read review
