Hi all, I wondered if anyone has, made or could recommend a good storage solution for SD and uSD cards as one might use with a Raspberry Pi micro computer? I'm not just talking about a pouch or wallet that actually takes the cards but some way of both storing them and being able to keep some sort of record (ideally on / with the cards themselves) telling me exactly what is on each. The point is, cards used this way would hold say different OS's, versions or desktops and not just a batch of photos. Ideally it would also allow a safe but easy way of accessing the cards, especially for someone what has big hands and less than 20:20 vision. ;-) Just to give you an idea of what I'm thinking of, maybe small card index box with some form of slim but secure and easy-open container attached to each card (not like the ones the cards often come in that once you do get open, fires the card across the room, never to be found again) or a pouch so thin you can't get it open enough to get your finger in / card out. Cheers, T i m

How about a card index box with a tiny zip-lok bag stapled onto each card?

d-i-y SD card storage solution?

For memory sticks, I use key rings with cheap fobs I can write on.

That's not a bad idea, especially as I have a small bag full of such fobs. ;-)

I bought some paper Dymo label tape (comes a 3 pack with silver and yellow plastic tape but make them all a bit cheaper) and I'll give that a go (as suggested here) on the uSD cards, along with a fine paint-pen / marker.

Cheers, T i m
