A disk storage and handling magazine has a spindle mounted on a bottom cap. Disks are loaded in the magazine by passing the spindle through a hole in the center of the disks. The disks may be separated by spacers to prevent the disks from touching each other. In some embodiments, the magazine includes a tube surrounding the spindle and a removable top cap fitting over the spindle and the tube. The magazine also includes a jacking mechanism that moves up and down the spindle for automatically unloading disks from the magazine. The jacking mechanism has a jacking plate mounted on at least one plug. The at least one plug seats in a hole in the bottom cap of the magazine to form an airtight seal when the jacking mechanism is at the bottom of the spindle.
