contink Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Answers on a postcard - just been passed 99 16meg SD Cards - anyone got some pratical uses before I start sticking them in Xmas crackers ? Find some local catchment primary schools that have old low res cameras and make them happy...
tmcd35 Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) Buy a number of card readers and usb hubs. You can then create a RAID across them. Thats almost 160meg storage just there. Maybe closer to 120meg at RAID-50. ---Edit--- Ignore my maths. Multiplied by 10 not 100, whoops. 1.6Gb and 1.2Gb are probably closer! Edited December 9, 2008 by tmcd35 bad maths
mattx Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 RAID ARRAY!? A Raid of SD cards - possible I suppose...... Interesting concept.....
jamesb Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Play around. See if you can use them as smartcards by dropping a certificate onto them then trying to use them as such. Might actually be useful eventually as well if you want to tighten up security on teachers remotely logging in.
webman Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Stick together in a random pile with glue then send to the Tate Modern art gallery. OR... TIDDLYWINKS!
mattx Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 Stick together in a random pile with glue then send to the Tate Modern art gallery. Ooooohhh yeah - always wanted to win the Turner Prize.....
K.C.Leblanc Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 If you glue them together end on end you could use them as a back scratcher. Or if you've got a very steady hand use the first 52 to make a diddy set of playing cards.
AngryTechnician Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 My first thought was 'domino rally', but after checking the SD card in my camera it seems you can't stand them on end. Maybe yours have edges that are square enough?

localzuk Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Make an interesting new sign for your office with them?
mattx Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 I may stick some on my face tomorrow and then take a picture and post it as my new avatar....
Andrew_C Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Let me sell (well OK give) you another to make it a round 20? I tried to use it last week, but could only get a few seconds of uncompressed sound on it. Bought a 4Gb for about £10.
elsiegee40 Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Mosaic tiles? Apply glitter, attach to string and hang from Christmas tree? Wedges for wobbly tables?
FN-GM Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Stick 2GB stickers on and give them to teachers. 1
elsiegee40 Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Stick 2GB stickers on and give them to teachers. Love it
somabc Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Stick 2GB stickers on and give them to teachers. surely you mean ebay?
elsiegee40 Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Stick 2GB stickers on and give them to teachers. On second thoughts - only a good idea if you give them to teachers from other schools... otherwise you'll end up supporting all their problems when their Christmas 10 zillion mega pixel camera can't store a picture on the card!
FN-GM Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Are they big enough to use at ghost boot discs?
Little-Miss Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 im sorry but (here comes the autism)...Where's the 100th!??!!
Little-Miss Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Nooooo i need closure!!! Im now hoping you will stick them all over your face as promised and use it as your avatar... I'm laughing to myself now, have a mental image of you with sd cards all over your face and then someone coming into your office to ask a question....
tech_guy Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 SD Card Porn! Stick a naughty picture on each one and then pop one each in to the xmas cards you send out!!!
