Other What is the name of your Hard Drive?

my SSD is called / and my 3TB raid5 array is called /mnt/raid

 

I name my PCs, my drives get names based on their use and/or size.

The first is a 128mb SSD, the rest are 1TB Samsungs
Win7
Win7 Backups
Ripley Data
Ripley Data Backup
Downloads
Downloads Backup

In the NAS I've got, these mount points:
Bucket
Music
Audio
Images
Video
eBooks

My externals are named by their capacity and use, so I've got:
Media 500
Macfiles 160
Timemachine 250
Install 250
VM 250

BTW, my current machines are named Ripley, Vasquez & Dropship. My main PC is always named Ripley the 2nd is always called Vasquez. This convention stays constant even through upgrades

 

I have one drive named "Big Booty bitch"

I used to have a LOT more drives than this, but I've been spending a lot of time recently getting everything off my PCs, laptop and multiple other drives which just lay on top of the server for hot swapping. It's getting there. The arrays are all in order, now I just need to finish off getting the files on them organised.

HotSwap2 - 320GB WD Caviar Blue
SystemArray - 2x 74GB Raptors in RAID 0
StorageArray1 - 3x 1TB Caviar Greens in RAID 5
StorageArray2 - 3x 1TB Caviar Greens in RAID 5
BackupArray - 2x 1TB Caviar Greens in RAID 1

Total - 10 drives. More to come. I want to make Array1 and Array2 into one large array when I get a better controller and more drives for it.

PC-
Vertex - 1x 120GB OCZ Vertex 120 (System)
Velociraptor - 1x 300GB WD Velociraptor

+1 to sensible drive names:

C: "Win7" - Current OS; the name is a hangover from when I was migrating my live Vista to new Win 7 install
D: "Vista" - See above; I haven't yet got around to getting all my stuff off this partition and wiping it...
E: "Data" - Everything else; downloads, music, movies, TV shows, etc...

Plus one that's invisible to Windows: "Hackintosh". Guess what's on there...
