I name my drives for easily remembered characters. Some for characters in the cartoon series Reboot. Some for Hindu Gods.
It makes it easier to remember what files are on what drive.
Also some are Partitioned and names of partitions assigned in a conventional terminology from a defunct platform. Thus; "System" would be for the OS and closely associated utilities. "Apps" would contain of course application programs which produce new files. ( could also be called Tools)
And "Work" which contains the products of "Apps". This is termed documents in darkside terms. Finally we have "Play" Whichcontains games, sound files,player utilities, picture and movie files. Things mostly for entertainment..
Since I still have a machine from this defunct platform with these names the Mac HD with these names actually has an "M" before them to designate
they are on the Mac. Thus; "MPlay"= "Mac Play."
What is hilarious is that a 500 MB drive used to seem huge. And now I don't bother partitioning anything under 4 GB.
I still have in storage a boxful of brand new IBM 100 MB drives I once planned to use in an array.
But rapid change makes fools of us all
