sudo apt-get install usbmount

it creates entries usb devices in /media, automounts usb devices there.

beware of fat & ntfs drives, may need edit /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf file filesystems aren't supported default. commented well, should simple do.

you may need sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g ntfs support etc.

ext3 , ext4 (for example) should fine.

once installed, can edit lines 12 & 13 of /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf, changing mount points /media/nas etc.
