Mounting Drives

Just got a new internal HDD and am having some issues setting it up, thought it would be a good time to upgrade my knowledge on the matter too.

I've created and partition map and formatted my drive. I can mount it no problem. The only issue I'm having is when I try to mount it from inside Nautilus or Thunar I get a permission error. They do recognize that it exists but when I try to mount/access I can't. I've tried mounting it and changing permission and ownership like this:

chown david /mnt/data
chmod u+rwx /mnt/data

For my USB drives this has been a matter of plug and play in the past IIRC.

I'm also curious about how file managers handle these auto mounts. I remember that before installing Nautilus, Thunar did not automatically recognize any drives. Is there a specific package that allows file managers to do this?

My current fstab:

#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir>   <type>  <options>     <dump> <pass>
# dev/sda1
UUID=3d5b45df-cc08-1574-bef8-2468at541dad     /          ext4      rw,relatime,data=ordered       0  1
