You can use the device node in /dev/disk/by-id/ or by-label to make an entry
in fstab that will always mount it in the same place.  by-id nodes are based
on the manufacturer and serial number of the device, so don't change when
it's hotplugged.

You can also make a udev rule that mounts all devices with (for instance)
Seagate's USB vendor ID to the same mount point when hotplugged.

By some combination of multiple rules, you can map multiple devices to the
same location, assuming that's your aim.
