+### Mounting External Drives
+
+If you wish to mount an external drive to the Docker instance you may do so by adding an argument to the execution of the `start_docker.sh` script.
+
+If, for example the data is stored on `X:/path/to/external/data/` where `X:/` is your external drive name, you will need to add:
+
+```bash
+bash start_docker.sh --external "/mnt/x/path/to/external/data"
+```
+
+`X:/` has to be swapped with `/mnt/x/` to be a valid path on WSL. In addition `--external` has a shorthand notation: `-e`.
+```bash
+bash start_docker.sh -e "/mnt/x/path/to/external/data"
+```
