So what colour would your storage space be? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Also, "persistent storage device space", anyone? Or "data storage |
| 15 |
device space"? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Also, "drive space" would be dead wrong. A drive[1] is a device which |
| 18 |
holds a storage medium (often a disk, as in, you know, a "disk drive"). |
| 19 |
"Solid-state drive" is even more confusing than "solid-state disk" (and |
| 20 |
both are common parlance). |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Obviously in the original context the medium isn't important at all. So |
| 23 |
we should settle on "file system space" and hope we don't anger fierce |
| 24 |
hordes of librarians who still use card-based library classification |
| 25 |
index systems. We don't want to do that. |
