Create the mount point for the new drive (folder name):

sudo mkdir /media/brcao/Data16TB_00

sudo vim /etc/fstab

add the following line to the end of the file

/dev/sde2        /media/brcao/Data16TB_00        ext4    defaults        0 0

sudo mount /media/brcao/Data16TB_00

Reference

If the following problem occurs

mount: /media/brcao/Data16TB_00: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sde2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

do (warning: may delete the data, make sure the hard drive has no data or data has been backed up!)

sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sde2
