USB died and new USB dying again! Moving to SSD/Flash!

It is on my router, but I also replaced the SD card of my Raspberry Pi by an SSD (I bought two identical cases/SSD's). On that platform I can use "SSD" as label (volume name) and "/media/ssd" as mount point.

The upper/lower case does indeed not matter much, but it would be nice if I can make this distinction (and learn how mounting actually works on our routers).

First I seem to have an other issue; after leaving the SDD connected for one night my router became unresponsive until I ejected the SSD... :(

You're just going to make things more complicated for no apparent benefit. The router is not a Linux distro, some aspects are simplified. The router's USB automount code uses the volume name as the mount point. If there's no volume name it uses the device name, e.g. sda1. To use a different mount point you'd usually use a custom fstab entry. However, last time I checked that wasn't supported anymore by the router (link).
