By default, Raspberry Pi OS auto-mounts USB devices to the directory /media/$USER when you plug them in. I give all my drives human readable disk labels, so, when I plug them in; I end up with something like...
/media/$USER/disk1
/media/$USER/disk2

From the wiki page that thagrol posted
/media Mount points for removable media such as CD-ROMs (appeared in FHS-2.3 in 2004).
/mnt Temporarily mounted filesystems.
Up to you really...but whatever, you do; get the separator right!
