CD and DVD filing / storage (without cases)

[X-ray]

I need to store and file according to date order, a large quantity of CDs and DVDs.

I'll be buying future blanks on the spindle, so the storage of these disks must assume I don't have plastic cases for them. But I need some kind of tab that tells me what the date of any particular disk is.

Any ideas?

Unfortunately I have to keep the data on disk because the backup process only works from disk. These are not movies, but medical imaging data.

Hi Oliver

You are right, this is for work. These are backups from an MRI machine, and they won't be happy to operate from a spindle.
I found something that I can use: a DJ-type lockable aluminium case with CD pouches that can be individually labelled. It can hold about 660 discs. We could buy about 4 of those and store them in a cabinet.
The discs don't leave the hospital ever, they are for local backup only.

Dude, is that YOUR brain they are talking about in the staff-room?
Apparently it is like a boing ball in a sock  :-P

One thing I found out about MRI scanners: if you're in the bore with a camera, be prepared to have the zoom and other controls operated without any intervention from you. And if you stay in too long, the camera will display blue noise just before it shuts down

We've got current studies on a server, but the system that stores them came in several years after the first scan was archived.
Without going into boring details, these old discs can't be uploaded on the server for storage. There are contracts and procedures to adhere to.
Privacy regulations: data won't leave the hospital, so not an issue.
Anyway the case looks good, I think we have a solution here.
