hey all
so ive been asked to figure out which of these five names for a new hard drive appeal most to the toms hardware community... rate them from one to five or just let me know what you think. chances are your answers are going to name this thing as it is about to go into production.
Thanks!

names:
moon, bambu, digivault, limo, and dome

Yeah, maybe I could use that as just really an excuse for getting drunk, like that dude about the Raiders.

Out of curiosity, how can you make a brand AND a model with the same name? Wouldn't that be straight up confusing to the consumer? I can't imagine a tech company who has one product either.

When you get down to it, if products were named after results of surveys to tech geeks, they would never suck as much as those out now.

We wouldn't get MX geForces, or Powercolor 9800PE (when it is a very bad stripped 9800), xxxxxx Extreme edition or whatever. Right now it's all either unappropriately named or completely misguiding to consumers. Sometimes even an outright lie like Powercolor did when using PRO to name non-PRO versions(or something like that) of Radeons.

Digivault is the best imo. It carries the promise of very reliable storage so better be sure the product will be worthy of it.

I do have to agree on that though. Definitely fits the purpose more than any of the others.

I mean, Moon doesn't say much about the product, really, nor does Limo or Bambu.

Holy crap you gotta fire your marketing department because they're drinking on the job or sumthin. Moon? :mad: better hope Ned doesn't see this.
