Most are done minus tweaking and one has a different graphic when I get around to it...
Easier to put up a disk drive collage.

BOOM
Water drive, Earth rings - this one I am putting the model#, file system and drive letter where the graph usually goes in the vertical. I have an external Ext4 and HFS disk. Will be interesting to test. I have Macdrive so Windows will see it.

More farting around with pads, tiles, disk widths and heights than any other theme to get it to look how I envisaged it.

The whole enchilada in this one BUT only one graph, the one that relies accurately on your performance monitor..
The Horizontal looks best with the disk and the vertical with the ring (to me) - each to their own.. Why I prefer it is because the drive letter flashes inside the ring when there is disk activity, so that tells you something is happening. It stops when disk activity stops. Minor alignment fixes to do, nothing more.

And next... will rescale later. Yes the drive and rings were made to be icons. Did not work to my satisfaction, so I changed the concept to purely match the theme aesthetically.

Definitely spam, and most likely produced by AI chatbot for spam bot. Barstewards. :|

Anyway, killed it. :)

These are not in the current icons file. Will be in the next. Still another 19 after this to finish.

all disk drive modules with added graphics are tested with only one drive to ensure nothing gets chopped off. :)
