You can rename the hard drive so that when you see it in the list of drives 
you'll know which one it is.
For example, both of my external drives are both named external drive.  One 
is assigned the letter J and the other K.
You change this by going into the drives properties with alt-enter.  The 
first thing that should come up is, label edit.  This is where you can name 
the drive.  If it says something like "my book," you can change it by simply 
back spacing out that name and typing in your own.

There are times I have a external drive on and the stream at the same time 
and would like to know which one I am   turning off. Is there a way to find 
out? They both say, "USB mass storage device."
