Several people have asked me how I store my CED collection, so I prepared this document to provide the details.
Storage is an issue primarily to people who are assembling large collections of CED's.
Caddies should always be stored like books in a shelf, never stored flat in a stack, as the pressure will damage the disc grooves. Using a multi-tiered bookshelf arrangement is the most space efficient, but keep in mind that this concentrates a lot of weight in a small amount of floor space. This is not a matter to be taken lightly, as I know of an instance where a large collection of CED's broke a mobile home in two, and once heard of an instance where a large aquarium fell through an apartment floor. In the case of the mobile home, there were about 1200 CED's stored at the very back end, and when the home was being moved to a different space, the dynamic load of the CED's snapped the mobile home frame when the moving truck applied its brakes. Modern home construction requires an average minimum floor strength of 75 lbs.
