How to get Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit to always show same HDD letters

I have an issue with HDD letters being changed by the operating system. It is highly bothersome that I cant keep each volume letter unchanged so I can identify each one of my 6 hard drives + the Usb drives.
I always keep 2 HDD inside the PC tower plus another 4 inside an external enclosure. Additionally I have an external Sabrent USB-DSC5 Hard Drive adapter with one HDD or Optical drive connected to it and the PC.

Is it possible from Windows 7 to set it in such a way that the drives lettering e.g. C E F G H J K etc etc remain linked to each individual HDD?

If Windows does not offer that capability how do I solve this need? Is there any known software I could install that deals with this issue and solves it efficiently?


All help would be appreciated.

Thank you kindly.

That's strange, why is Win7 doing that?

I have 2 HDDs (1 internal, 1 external) with 3 volumes (internal is partitioned)

The drive letters are C, D, F always. Never changes.

You only have 1 external, plug in a thumb drive while the external is unplugged and see what letter the thumb drive gets...
