Same Drive Letter every time - usb portable drive

Bokeh

I am sure I saw it somewhere, but can't find it and forgot to bookmark it. I want to use a usb portable drive attached to one computer to allow backups across a small network. Just a couple of db files we want to make sure get taken care of every day.

The people who have the drive plugged into their computer are not the most literate computer users, so I want to make sure if they move the drive to a different port, than it is showing up as the same drive letter every time.

Right click My computer
Manage
Under storage Disk Management
Select the drive letter you want to allocate to that USB.

If this wasn't what you were looking for I apologize
