Clever, functional, AND fun!

This was accidental but it's worked out tremendously well.

How to name external drives: find those random stickers you've got in a drawer. You got them with some other stickers or as part of a promo or you've just had them for ages or whatever.

1. Stick on drive.
2. Name drive.

May I introduce:

- beachball
- rollerskate
- xstate

Superbly memorable. I've had lots of data move between these drives the last few days (don't ask) and it's never been confusing as to what was where.

A photo of an external HDD and two external SSDs. They have stickers attached as per the main text.

@jarrod The university where I work has about 60 servers (mostly VMs) and every one of them is named after a Star Wars reference. Every.One. I have to authenticate to yoda to run PowerShell scripts against AD.
