Linux doesn’t do the drive letter thing. Instead, you have to identify the disks by their partition IDs.
When you install your OS, you’ll be able to mount
the disks to wherever you like. If you want, you can create directories in /mnt
, like /mnt/e
, /mnt/f
etc. Then you can mount your disks according to those letters.
The main issue you’ll run into is disk format. NTFS will work, but its poorly supported.
To get a better idea of how it works, try passing a USB disk into the VM you’ve created.
As have I, but I wouldn’t say its always been no issue. But there have been known performance issues, and filesystem locking issues when dual booting (I know, not OPs concern). I think its worth a warning at least, so OP doesn’t go in blind.
