I would like to rename the disks in my system, so that I can comfortably differ between all the removable drives I have. I know that it is possible to assign different labels to single partitions, but I haven't read anything about renaming the actual drive itself.

The Debian installation image however managed to relabel the drive as seen below:

lsblk
NAME                  LABEL                  SIZE MAJ:MIN RM TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sdd                   Debian 9.0.0 amd64 n 115,3G   8:48   1 disk 
├─sdd2                NTFS_36GB             33,5G   8:50   1 part 
├─sdd3                FAT32_16GB            14,7G   8:51   1 part 
└─sdd1                EXT4_72GB             67,1G   8:49   1 part 

(I created and relabeled the Partitions myself)

So I would like to know how that works and how I can change the disklabel (/dev/sdx), not the label of the partitions (/dev/sdxy), myself.

And as far as I'm concerned this is not a duplicate, because I am NOT looking for a way to rename the drives partitions (which is what I already did), but the DRIVE ITSELF (see output of lsblk seen above: The drive is called "Debian 9.0.0 amd64 n", the partitions are called " FAT32_16GB" and so on.)

I would appreciate any help I can get.

Update:
