I inherited external storage and media cards that look like stacked firewood.
Can someone help me with what-to-build and how-to-build a solution to my requirements. I suspect that something might already exist given the explosion of game, music and video collections. (My tool of preference is python coupled with some DBMS.)

I seek a utility that will scan each of these then:
- gather file details
- collect file details within each folder
- recurse into any sub-folders as needed
- TAG each file and folder with a unique device identifier
- store the data so that I can search for content of interest
- stored data should enable processing to locate duplicate content
not only withing a given folder or device but across all devices
