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..
