Do we still need drive letters...?
As the title says, do we still need drive letters to "label" our storage?
In my humble opinion, drive letters are the legacy DOS left us that needed to be leave and let go, it belongs in the past. At this time of age, when people can have many disks that stores multi gigabytes of data, drive letters are liability... What if you (like me) have too many disks, plus external storage(s), plus some SAN/NAS volumes that needs to be attached... Giving those volumes drive letters will backfire when you ran out of letters (1), or you forgot that you statically bind a folder to your iTunes Database (example of some app that statically bind to a folder within a partition), and the volume ran out of free space(2). Expanding the volume is out of the question because the free space is already taken by the next partition...
Please share your opinion...
