I have just bought three external HD enclosures for old HDs lying around here - but the enclosures all look the same.....

I want to name them something other than 'Disk 1' etc.

Any ideas? be creative :D:D

725872 2008-12-04 23:38:00 Similar to the other post, I once worked for a company that named it's servers after Starwars characters.

Public facing servers were given evil characters names to reflect their threat level.

Internal private servers were given good characters names, to indicate they were "safe".

I guess this doesn't directly related to naming your hard drives as the content should all be legimate and safe, right ? ;)

One business I get contracted out to used to name all their servers after muppets characters :) I think they kept scooter around, but everything has names that reflect their purpose now - more useful, but just doesn't brighten up your day the same way the old servers did :lol:
