That used to work for A: vs C: back in the days of floppys, but what
part of "E:" tells you which disk it is? At best you get to assume that
E: and D: are different disks, but the names don't tell you which is which.

That's better, indeed. But the "0" still makes it unclear (which disk
is 0 and which is 1?). To make it more clear, I think it's important to
give (as much as possible) human-chosen names to the disks (for that
reason I use LVM to partition my disks, where I can label my disks and
partitions, although those labels aren't always reflected in the mount
points, so they're not always visible in the actual names of the files
that reside in them).
