DiscHub Hands-on Review
 |
DiscHub is an interesting take on the concept of CD storage. When dealing with common CD's, they usually get thrown onto a desk or someplace where they are not safe. While there are many CD holders out there, some are better than others. DiscHub is one of those holders that's worth the cash. On the surface, DiscHub looks like any other CD holder but once put to use, the small-yet-useful ideas put into place by its designers. The CD slots are lined with a rubbery foam that is soft and non-abrasive. There is just a slit between the two pieces which holds a CD in place nicely. This padding for the slots ensures you don't accidentally scratch your CD's when moving them in and out. You can also blindly get the CD's or put them back without worrying. |

The DiscHub can hold 11 CD's, which is plenty in today's day of DVD's which many people use these days to store data. The CD's are offset so that half lean to the left while the other lean to the right. The CD's alternate in this pattern so it's easy to not only see a specific CD but also grab one without the surrounding CD's getting in the way. This pattern allows you to also roll a CD out of its spot easily. The DiscHub is a sturdy little holder, made of neoprene. On top of this, the CD's are in nice and snug. I tested it by rolling it onto it's side as if something had knocked into it and all the CD's didn't budge. I also carried it around a bit as if I was moving to another desk and all CD's didn't move at all. Flipping it upside-down and gently shaking did nothing either. Overall the DiscHub is a great product and is one of the better CD holders out there. All these good items, combined with a fantastic $11.99 price-tag, makes the DiscHub a welcome addition to any desk out there needing organization.
