- A genuine SanDisk SD memory card always contains a serial number on the lower back of the card. The location of the serial number will vary depending on memory card type and manufacturer. If you have a SanDisk card, take a look at this article, which details the possible location of serial numbers on its storage products.
- Your card CID should be very similar. The manufacturer ID should be 1b, followed by an application/OEM ID of 534d. The product name is (5 x ASCII ‘0'). The product revision is 10 (1.0). The next 8 hex characters (98625deb) are the SD card serial number, yours will be different!

I want to be able to retrieve an SD Card's Serial Number, Manufacturer, and any other information it may provide. Java or just a command to run would be great. Compact Framework does it, but that doesn't help me.

For my current project, I tried to read the SD Card serial number because the number is factory stamped and unchangeable, so it easily could be used to protect embedded firmware from being copied (1). The serial number is stored in the Card Identification Register (CID) which is read by ‘Command 10' as stated in the SD Simplified Specifications. Unfortunately, it is not possible to read the CID of the card with a USB adapter — you need a ‘direct' SD interface. My iMX233 based development board has 2 of them, so it was an easy task to improve our firmware to read the CID and extract the serial number, but how do I check if I get the correct information?
Reading SD-Card SID
Luckily the Linux kernel provides the CID via the SD and MMC Block Device Attributes so you may use a Linux device containing a direct SD interface like your Android phone or an embedded Linux board. Unfortunately, you cannot know the real path of the SD card in the /sys file system so I can only give some examples and you have to try out the actual path yourself.
For example, on my Samsung Galaxy Note running Gingerbread, there is a /sys/block/mmcblk0 soft link pointing to:
