Using other drives on Linux is easy, but if you want them to automatically mount and be usable when you start your computer: You’ll need to set up auto-mounting. This video shows you how to automatically mount drives, including Windows drives on Arch, Manjaro, EndeavourOS and other Linux OS’s using fstab.

NOTE: You may need to run pacman -S ntfs-3g or apt install ntfs-3g – whatever your system uses—to add the ability to mount NFS drives, usually Windows drives.
