generally spoken all is posible with udev.
But you have to write your own rules for that drive.

I am currently just wondering, this drive is connected to the computer
always? ...or do you manually plug it in for backups?

same question here - always conntected or plugin for backups?
When always connected just comment the line in /etc/fstab for that
partition/drive.
(you can mount partitons in /etc/fstab the same way with LABEL=<your_LABEL>
instead of /dev/xyz or UUID nowadays.)

When the partition is LABELed and mounted via automount it will always be
accessible via /media/<your_LABEL>

I use this with several usb discs/pen drives here.
