Conventionally you'd probably mount it to /mnt, or /media then symlink that to your preferred location. I have a similar disk with music, and it is mounted at /mnt/music. Then I have ~/mp3/ symlinked to /mnt/music/mp3 and similarly I have ~/ogg/ symlinked to the disk. The disk itself is mounted read-only, as I rarely add new music to it. (I've ripped all the albums I own and I rarely buy new ones these days. Sometimes I download new tunes but very very rarely.) If you plan to share the disk(s) via samba it makes sense to mount them somewhere "global" so using "/mnt", or "/home/music" makes sense, but using "~me/music" doesn't. Still at the end of the day you can choose your location yourself..
