cd to /media/sda1 and then issue the df command, it should now show the amount of used/free space. Make sure you cd back to your home dir before removing the device.
What is the reason the current directory is significant? I can't find an explanation for that in the df man page.

Because if you are in the directory of the media card you will not be able to cleanly umount the device even though you can still physically remove it. Try to unmount the device while you are in the /media/sda1, you will get an error that the device is busy. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
