As an update, I was able to add the device under the (file-system) data type to the system config.scm file. But the drive is set read-only. I tried using `chown -R $user:$user /path/to/folder/` but it shows that the drive and (subsequently) its files are read-only. How do I mount the drive so that it's writable?
