How about ByteBlock? I like the "Block" part. Two points: Every other type of data structure is connected to the the "memory" in the same way, strings no less than buffers. And it (and all the other data types) are not really connected to the computer's primary memory these days; virtual at best. It's the bytes which are the interesting piece of info here; they should be in the name.
