I generally just leave it connected as extra storage. The problem is when it sits idle the external dock will power down the drive and when it powers back up it's assigned a new drive letter. I've edited fstab to mount /dev/sdc1, but when it powers down and needs to be remounted fstab is useless because the device is now /dev/sdd1, and it works its way up the alphabet. Currently, it's back on sdc. Is there a way to assign a letter to a specific drive so that even if I remove it and reconnect it later the machine will recognize the drive and have that location reserved for it? I've tried google but I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for and wasn't able to come up with anything useful.
