Driver discs are funny things.  They almost seem disposable, the way they come in paper envelopes and might only be used once.  You use them to set up a new piece of hardware, maybe a printer,  then what?  They don’t sit on a shelf well without being rehoused in a plastic jewel case, and if go that route you might fill a space quickly.  They hardly seem worth the same careful preservation that your original discs for MS Office or Final Cut Pro so clearly deserve.  But lose track of them, and you’ll certainly want them again.

I used to stack driver discs on a corner of my desk, waiting for a better idea.  Finally one came along.  For the last year or so, I’ve been keeping drivers (and some cheap application discs that came without a good case) in a soft CD wallet.  If I was frequently pulling discs in and out of the pockets, I might worry about scratching, but these discs will be infrequently used, and the wallet can be stored securely on a shelf when I don’t need it.  It’s a simple organizational idea that’s worked surprisingly well for me.
