My secondary hard drive I have to click for it to "wake up".
 

I have my main SSD (sda) where my OS is on.
Then I have my secondary mechanical HD (sdb).

The hard drive is not "loaded" automatically. It seems like I have to "wake it up" first.
There are no access to it until I open file manager and click on it.

What might be the problem here and how to fix it so I don't have to wake it up. My files won't be synced with my cloud storage bc of this unless I go to file manager and click it to wake it up.

Also, the path /run/media/ seems a bit weird to me, but I don't know :)

In advance, thank you for your assistance.

So what's happening is that when you click on your hard disk, you're *mounting* it. When you mount a partition or drive, it becomes mapped to a directory on your system from which you can access its contents. Your drive appears to be mounted at "/run/media/anonymous/06bcf743-8b4d-409f-addc-520fc4e19299"

If you want it mounted at startup, the best way is to add a line the /etc/fstab configuration file with your favorite text editor and root privileges (i.e. "sudo nano /etc/fstab")

You need to make sure that the permissions are set right for security reasons/so you can access and edit it from your regular user account. Here's a link on getting it so all users on your system can read/write: https://askubuntu.com/questions/5872...-for-all-users
