Sorry, I somehow read "removable" as "remote".
There's two possible solutions:
1. Forcibly assign a specific drive letter. They would stay as long as the FS
UUID remain the same and the letter is not assigned to another drive.
2. Use USBDLM https://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbdlm_e.html and configure letters as
you wish. For what I recall, it lets you use drive label as the anchor.
