What's Your Hard Drive'(s) Name?

[diehldun]

Very descriptive...

 

[DeSnousa]

Came up with a better name, well for the external. Medit a cross between media and edit which is what the hd is for

 

[barneygumble]

Hmm, they don't tickle my fancy. I guess I just have a thing for Greek, it just sounds more elegant (and still in use today!). But I do need some sort of logic to the naming system or I'll never remember which drive is which.

Thanks for the icon, and my hard drive is called Mini HD

My first harddrive was named Lucile (Cool Hand Luke rules). However, that died and I lost almost everything. After the Repair I got an external for back up and media purposes. The Media drive is named Lucile II in memoriam. My main harddrive in PBook is now named Phoenix and the back up is Ashes. Just in case it dies again, this time the Phoenix will rise again from the ashes.

Best one yet, IMO, Phoenix and Ashes...very nice indeed!

I finally renamed my drives.

Looks like Lacero has been coming to much.

Duff-Man says...yeah....more porn than music or warez....I don't think it's a great idea to be advertising how much warez you have - and no doubt share....(and I have absolutely none)....oh yeah!

 

[DarkNetworks]

Mine, HD is almost FULL and my mac is awfuly slow...

Mine was the same than i got a external Time to consider.

 

[mad jew]

Is "warez" LimeWire stuff or something? I'm not a P2P person, I'm oh so innocent.

 

[livingfortoday]

Well, each computer has a name, so I name the HD like that.

Cube - Aphrodite
Powerbook - Galatea
G3 Tower - Kronos

Those names all relate to the computers themselves. Then I have the "other" drives.

Ext. 200GB Drive - Backup
2nd HD on Tower - Extra Hard Drive
G3 PowerMac - Macintosh HD
Shuffle - Shuffle'd!

Those names are functional more than anything else. Also, they're lame.

No problem. Mine was called that for a while but I made a brave step and dropped the "HD".

Livin' on the edge.

Nah i'm gonna get an iPod soon...so i don't think i'll hav extra cash for that...

Yeah i guess so, there's this program called Warez in the Windows Platform, i don't know if this program supports OSX, yeah it's pretty much a P2P Filesharing like Limewire...

It's all Greek to me.

Well there's an idea. Mine is now the Greek word for "drive" (according to Dashboard)

Edit: *reads rest of thread and finds more Greek references, and now feels like he's just tagging along*

I think tomos (= volume) would be better. kinese means "movement". It's always worth flipping the translation on that widget to make sure the meaning is right. For instance, when you type in "volume", you get the Greek for "sound level": not exactly what you want. But I like your style...


I suppose you could always go with "hard disk", but I think "tomos" does the trick.

heh heh, never trust a computer/spellchecker etc.

Might the Greek naming catch on? I feel a trend starting!

Now of course "trend" could be translated as "kinese"!

in hindsight this has become very, very confusing at times

As in, a trend is a movement? A bit tenuous, unless you know an alternative translation of kinese (or kinhsh - transliteration's a bugger)

 

[Jovian9]

Secret Name - Startup Drive
Homogenic - Scratch Drive
Kid A - Backup Drive

Well, you have to live up to your name, Chaos (teehee, that's Greek too )

 

[skunk]

Well, you have to live up to your name, Chaos (teehee, that's Greek too )

But it actually means "empty space" in Greek....

I completely re-did my network yesterday and chose a naming scheme for all computers/devices/drives. Here is what's mounted on my iMac right now. The network share Atom is my iBook's harddrive.

 

[Giaguara]

Lost track of the names...

Currently:

Powerbook (home) has 4 partitions
Zen (10.4 Server)
Shui (10.3 Server)
Tao (music partition)
Feng (other data)
External hard drive (home):
Tao II

Work:
eMac:
Lost Souls (10.3)
NOYFB
G5:
Tigger (10.4)
Panther (10.3)
Data (self explanatory)

Well since I don't understand a word of it, I'll keep it as is. The disks do move, you know

Our school's Xserve (I think it's an Xserve G4 or G5 that it's on...) is named BigMac and the teacher one is 'FortKnox' or something like that.

Hehe...my school's Xserve is also named Bigmac. I thought I was being original
