Given the nature of my job and my life I require a lot of drive space. What you are looking at here are the seven main drives currently in use (D doesn't count, it's a blu-ray drive).



F and J are portable drives. I've never come up with naming convention for those drives. E, G and H (Montreal, New York and Boston) are part of an array of terabyte sized external drives. I have just added a fourth drive to this group (I) and it needs a name. I had a name in mind but I figured why not toss it out there for opinions. So here's a poll, what should I name my new drive? And if you happen to think of a good naming convention for my portable drives feel free to mention it in the comments.


[Poll #1500382]

Louisville. Neither North or South, yet has the best of both.

Naming convention for portable drives? Boeing, Learjet, Airbus....

I thought about Airlines. Airplane manufacturers are good, I just worry about the 'crash' connotations. Yes, I am superstitious.

Yeah, but they're portable drives, thus you should name them after something that moves, and most things that move can crash. Though you could use horse breeds--Mustang, Andalusian, Morgan. Just skip Appaloosa, since you don't want a spotty drive. *grin*

before I even saw what the poll choices were, I thought 'Chicago' based on the other three names. Have you decided? I love San Francisco but it's two words and I don't know why but that bothers me. I vote Chicago.
