It would be great if it was the first of it's kind. But it has no lock on it. So you can't really travel with this one and feel safe your cd or dvd's in it. they could spill out very easily. For home use that is kept on a shelf it's ok but for the price i would get a selector 50 i think thats a much better deal and more styleish for home use as well. I wrote one other review and thats for the studio 100 i love that.

I have three of these. Family members can easily find a specific dvd or scan when they aren't sure what they want to watch. It is easy to set up, use and eliminates the clutter of multiple dvd holders.

Software to index discs should be free and included with the storage unit. I've tried the "discstakka" by Imation and found them to be junk. They could not maintain an accurate location of the selected disc. This is an elegant, simple solution

I like the new version of the select 80, the new indexing system really beats the older model which was a nightmare to get printed using ADOBE. But I do miss not having a handle especially when you have 8 of them setting in a book case. You have to be careful picking them up from the sides with two hands otherwise you wind up opening the cover and dump all 80 disc in the floor. BE THERE, DONE THAT (lol) twice. It's unbelievable how much space storing 490+ disc take up, even using the slim jewel cases. Well worth the money!!!

Fantastic. By storing the cases in my attic and putting all of my DVDs and CDs in these storage units and using catalog software to keep track of where each disc was located, I was able to compress 400 DVDs, Blu-Ray discs and CDs onto one 13" X 13" square of my bookshelf!

We live in an RV and have combined all of our DVD's into 3 of your discgear containers. They are great. We will probably buy additional units as needed.

An affordable solution to budget and home storage issues. I store audio CDs,photo CDs and software titles in the 80S and use the Discware 120 Auto product for my DVD collection. Together they have solved my media storage issues at an affordable price!

I own two Selector 80S's and love them. I use them for movies. One has adult movies in it and the other children movies. When I want to watch a movie I just look at the list (typed online) pick the number of the movie slide the control and I have the movie. No more clutter of movie boxes or big cabinets. It sits right on top of the table.

This unit is a great space saver. I was surprised when I opened the box. I expected a plastic unit and the unit is made of welded steel parts. It is very strong and stable. Too bad that it can only be used for the "selector 100" as I have "selector 80's" as well. Perhaps they will become available for the selector 80 in the future.

I have an extensive collection of DVDs that were taking up a lot of space. I was able to produce labels for each one and put it in the disc holder. It takes up very little space and it is very easy to retrieve a specific one by moving the lever to the number of the storage slot. I have three containers and love them![...]

Bought several similar items from this company at a mall about 10 years ago and they locked closed, a real plus. These are nice units, but they do not lock closed. The lock wasn't a security feature, it was a safety issue, too easy to dump one if you pick it up wrong and all your disks will fall out. Still, very nice product, well designed, little on the pricey side for plastic, but have not seen anything better on the market.
