   I agree with others, no issue.   
   When you plug in the HD, normally it mounts in /media//DeviceName.   
      
   That device name is or could be unusual.  I run up gparted and name the drive   
   so it mounts   
   as /media/alan/DATA or /media/alan/C_Drive    It's easier for me to know what   
   I have mounted.
