I tend to agree.  I doubt that something else is providing the name,
unless you installed special drivers for it.

One thing might be how your connecting.  I just got an external drive
that doesn't appear when hotplugged.  It only appears when you turn on
its power.  I have a digital camera that behaves the same way.  So, for
both of them, I have to plug them in, then turn them on.  That might be
a problem for people who leave drives plugged in all the time, and turn
on computer and drive at the same time.

I think some manufacturers may have skimped on designing a good USB
system, and have one that only sends out its information once.
