Indeed. UK folk go sledging in winter; US folk go sledding.
I've only ever heard sled used in a hard disk context, though - but then I can

Unless you are talking about a Dell, Packard
Bell, etc. Windoze machine.
Using a sledge on one of those is not a bad idea.
Sledge==Sled.
British English seems to use "sledge" in preference to "sled", where
Americans seem to take the meaning as a "big hammer".
