- If you are running out of drive letters to use, mount your local volumes with no drive letters.
- The benefit is that if you use one volume with several mount paths, you can access all local volumes using a single drive letter (such as C:). You need not remember which volume corresponds to which drive letter, although you can mount local volumes and still have them assigned to drive letters.
