Why not.

<p>I&rsquo;m assuming your drive is already installed in the machine.</p>
<p>To begin, if you don&rsquo;t already have it, I like to use Gnome&rsquo;s Disk Utility on most of my distributions - it is handy for our use case.</p>
<p>Install it with:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span style="display:flex;"><span>sudo pacman -Syyu
</span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span>sudo pacman -S gnome-disk-utility
</span></span></code></pre></div><p>Then we leave that terminal open to the side, and open up what we just installed. You can either search &ldquo;Disks&rdquo; in your app launcher, or run:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span style="display:flex;"><span>gnome-disk-utility
</span></span></code></pre></div><p>Ideally you&rsquo;ll have Disks on one window, terminal on the other.</p>
<h3 id="formatting">Formatting<a hidden class="anchor" aria-hidden="true" href="#formatting">#</a></h3>
<p>Now. In Disks, you&rsquo;ll want to format your disk from the 3-dot menu in the top right.</p>
<p>Once formatted, mount the sucker. Name it something you&rsquo;ll remember, we&rsquo;ll need it soon.</p>
<p><em>(Quick note! If you plan to daily this drive in Linux, leave it as &ldquo;ext4&rdquo;. If you intend to dual boot, format to &ldquo;fat32&rdquo;)</em></p>
<h3 id="making-a-directory">Making a Directory<a hidden class="anchor" aria-hidden="true" href="#making-a-directory">#</a></h3>
<p>Now you&rsquo;re formatted. You&rsquo;ll notice a little string of numbers under the partition now, a field labeled &ldquo;UUID&rdquo;. We need that. Copy paste your UUID, and move over to the terminal</p>
<p>In your terminal, run</p>
<p>Now it&rsquo;s time to make a directory - so the computer knows where to dump the available storage. In your terminal:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span style="display:flex;"><span>sudo mkdir -p /mnt/YourDriveName
</span></span></code></pre></div><p>Name the directory whatever you decided earlier.</p>
<h3 id="etcfstab">/etc/fstab<a hidden class="anchor" aria-hidden="true" href="#etcfstab">#</a></h3>
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;"><code class="language-bash" data-lang="bash"><span style="display:flex;"><span>sudo nano /etc/fstab
</span></span></code></pre></div><p>Use the DOWN key to go to the bottom of the file. Once there, insert:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;"><code class="language-txt" data-lang="txt"><span style="display:flex;"><span>UUID=[uuid from Gnome Disk Util] /mnt/
