What do you call your HDD(s)?
Just wondering what others call their HDDs....

I call mine:

Front (400GB, TV shows, important stuff [like college/reviews/etc])
Right (500GB, Unsorted torrent stuff, backup of important stuff)
Left (500GB, Movies)
Back (320GB, Music, pictures)
Center (74GB, boot drive)

EDIT:
And on my MBP:
Booty (OS X partition)
Winny (XP partition, though I'm probably getting rid of this)

You call yours things? Eric, that is one of the craziest things that I have ever heard.

Main(OS, Programs)
Torrents(music, movies, ISOs)
and then I have some more strewn throughout.

Not.

320GB, 74GB, 200GB, 3X 36GB SCSI.

THis is like a girl asking a guy if he names his Penie.
Just dumb.

If you name your Hard Drives you MIGHT BEEEE an UBER GEEK!

If anything, I would refer to each drive by an OS if I have a particular OS on it. ie. XS OS 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 (soon) and XP Pro.
