The question of "should" is subjective I would think. I worry sometimes, 
since /dev is "special" and a "pseudo" directory that what I'm doing my 
break things in some manner. To date it works just fine. And, as I've 
said, to me, disk drives are devices. Somebody suggested /mnt. To me 
that's more for remote mounts, so my Z drive might be better suited for 
/mnt but C and D are local and I would expect them in /dev not 
/mnt.though one could argue that they too are mounted. Right now we are 
just talking personal preferences...

Hell a touch /dev/file would work (except other special things in /dev 
like clipboard will not list - but curiously list with ls /dev/clipboard)!
