IIRC, yesterday you were labelling /dev/sde1, not sdd1. Did it get enumerated differently today?
If the system consistently mounts the drive to a specific location (ex/run/media/bobg/<UUID> you could make a symbolic link to the mount point in your homedir, say /home/bobg/extdisc. If the drive is mounted you have an easy to use path to it. Otherwise it will just be a broken link, no problem.

Yes, I apparently had it mounted as several devices but normally it is /dev/sdd1.
Your suggestion is interesting but I don't think I need that. I have a Samba server set up as raid0 that I want to make changes to [eliminate the raid] and just needed a place to back up ~ 239GB of data, mostly image files. Once that is done my need for an external drive drops to virtually nothing. It's not to be accessed often, hopefully just once.
