In a Colorado city, streets named Tape Drive and Disk Drive harken back to the area's history as the former home of the StorageTek empire. These roads were part of a 400-acre campus where Storage Technology Corporation operated before being acquired by Sun Microsystems in 2005. Despite plans for redevelopment, the site remains unused. Other nearby tech-related street names include Data Drive, Memory Lane, and Infinite Loop. Similarly, in the UK, an industrial estate in Cardiff features streets like Fortran Road and Pascal Close.
