Comment Label them electronically? (there is space inside) (Score 2, Interesting) 485
I don't find physical devices too hard to keep track of, but which slot are they attached to on the workstation? I find it easier to keep track if I add an Autorun.inf file and an icon (image.ico) to the root directory of the card or stick or whatever.
I have never had problems with these files in the desitination device (camera, Mac, Zaurus etc.) but they make handling stuff on the PC which has a lot of attached devices a lot easier. You can iconise pictures with Irfanview - a 16x16 pixel block is all you need, and I guess anything distinctive will do (but I like to make 'em pretty!).
The text in your Autorun.inf should look something like:
[autorun]
icon=image.ico
label=Corsair stick (4GB)
- you can add your name to the label if that helps sort out ownership.
