Okay, Now I see why you are using cmd-shift-g. I think if you just opened the drive on the desktop it might ultimately be easier and your view shouldn't change. But if you think it's easier to do cmd-shift-g, you can type part of the / Vol and tab and it will complete and you can just do the whole path from there. You probably know what I mean but type: /Vaol (tab) yourdrive (tab), etc. Then if you need to access it more than once, you just leave the window open and cmd-accent to it.
