Andre' Ed here. I counted approximately 504 objects on the SD card. I say 504 because I may have skipped a few. My down arrow key may bounce and advance by two objects.
Next, I deleted two of the last objects (872 bytes each). Then I stored a real object (19 bytes). That was OK. When I tried to repeat this with a different real object, the 49G screen went blank, changed intensity, blinking different shades of gray, reset and restarted. I checked the SD card and the first object I stored is there. The second object I tried to store came up as a string and the object is a blank, i.e., no display on the screen when view is pressed. So I now have objects A1 and A2 , the object names I used, on the SD card.
Then I tried storing object A3 on the SD card and got the DISK FULL
error. Otherwise, I can still store objects in regular [home] memory. So I hope this answers your question.
It is interesting to note that I did not use ->TAG to store objects in SD memory. After entering data onto the stack, one enters the :: key , then 3, then > to shift the cursor right, next enter the "" key, then ALPHA , A, 1, and press ENTER. Then press STO.
To store in HOME memory, one puts data on the stack, presses the ' [single quote] key, ALPHA, A, 1, ENTER, and STO.
The real data I used is: 355, ENTER, 113, / (divide). Result is 3.1415929, an easy way to get close to PI. And easy to remember 113355.
So, to avoid DISK FULL errors, compact your data into really big objects or use multiple SD cards. It'll mean somewhat longer processing time but will
result in no surprises.

Yes, it is possible that you have exceeded the limit of existing files, instead of running out of space. This may happen if you have a lot of files, doesn't matter the size of them - even some computers may have this problem (for a gigantic number of files, though).
Here is something to check if this is really the case: try erasing two files and storing one bigger than both. If you can store this file, maybe my hypothesis is right.

I think the SD card is formated to FAT16 or FAT32. And
I think all FAT drives have a limit on the number of
files that can be stored in the root directory. Wasn't
it you who said you have a lot of files on it? That
may be your problem.
