You can change the label to something more friendly. How you do this depends on the file system. FAT32 file systems can be a little tricky to do under Linux (it is doable just not intuitive).
You can also have a specific device mount to a specific place by using the UUID. For example, in my /etc/fstab UUID=b0ad2056-d4db-48d1-8195-1247d1e5ad9e /opt/scratch xfs defaults 0 0 This UUID belongs to a USB drive and whenever it is connected it will mount to that specific mount point. You can get the UUID from /dev/disk/by-uuid which are sym links to the actual device (eg. /dev/sdc1). What file system is this drive?
