How Do You Manage Your SD Card Library?

txmadman writes "Like a lot of my colleagues and all of my three children, I have several SD , mini-SD, and micro-SD cards for various purposes: cameras, cell phones, my laptop, etc. These things are handy to have around, offer easy and significant storage, but are very easily lost. We have also have run into some instances where it wasn't clear whose SD card was whose, and have also started to see a need for a storage mechanism. I have seen SD card 'wallets' and such, but have never seen anyone actually use one. So: How do you manage and keep track of your SD cards?"

    Like a lot of my colleagues and all of my three children, I have several white, black, and blue pairs of socks for various purposes: school, work, dress, etc. These things are handy to have around, offer easy and significant comfort, but are very easily lost. We have also have run into some instances where it wasn't clear whose socks were whose, and have also started to see a need for a storage mechanism.

    I never wonder where they are: they're either on me, where they belong, or stolen. Life is very simple when you take responsibility. It's all black and white, easy to differentiate, and on the whole much more pleasant.

    Let me guess... there aren't any toddlers or shiny-object-hoarding pets at your house, either...

    couple of 1G or larger SATA disks, which I place in a front-loading holder and put in the fire, safe after they're written

    Bruce, I have no reason to doubt you; but are you sure it's OK to put SATA drives into the fire? I know it's probably romantic to sit in front of a nice fireplace made from SATA disks, but wouldn't logs be cheaper (NO, NOT the /var/log kind)?

    Why someone needs extra SD cards for a phone is beyond me.

    I bittorrent on my phone's internet, just to make back the money I spend on text messages the phone carrier doesn't have to pay for.

    No, but really, I put music on my phone. And if you've got a phone with a good camera in it, you can take loads of pictures and video. But still, I suppose, that's all manageable with a single microSD card.

    SD cards support a physical name for their top level directories.

    Is this something different from a volume name?
