Although perhaps strictly redundant, all the other objects have Storage as a 
prefix, so perhaps we should try to continue this.

I'm not a fan of StorageLibrary as, to me, it sounds quite tape-specific 
(people tend not to talk about libraries of disks, right?).

StorageSupply would be OK; but for me, "supply" doesn't hint strongly that 
it's the physical medium/media we're referring to.

I did a quick hunt through an online thesaurus.  Would one of these be useful?

StorageRepository
StorageVault
StorageSource
StorageBase
StorageArchive
StorageWarehouse

Cheers,

Paul.

(or we could just call it StorageStash)
