Do Viruses reside on Drives other than C: ?

I have a smallish SSD C: drive and a number of External Hard Drives. When I do a virus scan, it's set to do the whole enchilada, but it takes a very long time. I just did a scan on only the C drive (found two Trojan Horses). What are the chances that viruses get planted on drives other than "C:"? I'll hang up and listen. Thanks in advance.

viruses are very good at hiding on external hard drives and flash drives

Ever hear of Stuxnet? It's the virus that shut down Iran's centrifuges, and it is thought to have gotten in by someone's flash drive since there was no internet connection.
