If by drive letter you mean the device name, then the answer is no. The
kernel uses the device names in the sequence it detects the disks and
the time until a specific device is found isn't constant.
Actually, there is a way to give a device a persistent device name.
Unfortunately, there is not yet any reasonably friendly utilities to do
it for you. For the purpose of fstab, UUID is the way to go.
Use sudo blkid to list the UUID of all installed hard drives, including
your removable, and add that UUID to your fstab.
