Edit your fstab via

sudo nano /etc/fstab

and add the line below

UUID=0e281f8d-1117-451d-9b1b-b07405a631bc /media auto nosuid,nodev,nofail 0 0

Replace the UUID in my example above with the UUID of your partition

sudo blkid /dev/sdb2 | awk -F'"' '{print $2}'

Note, the entry in your fstab doesn't mount the drive if it's not present during startup.

You can use Ubuntu Disks utility. Open the Dash and search for Disks.

Select your USB key in the menu on the left, click the gears and select Edit Mount options :

From here simply check : Mount at startup :
