mount points

A mount point is a location on a computer's file system where additional storage, such as a hard drive or a separate partition, is connected or linked. Think of it as a folder or directory you access to view the data stored on that external or separate storage device. When you "mount" a drive, you're essentially making it accessible through your main system, allowing you to read from and write to it just like any other folder. This helps organize multiple storage devices seamlessly within the computer's overall file structure.
