Mounting new SSD Drive

[bertilak]

(I hope this is the right forum for this question. Feel free to scoot me off somewhere else if not!)

I just got a brand new Samsung SSD T5 and plugged it into the USB 3 slot of my ASUS RT-AC88U. Seems OK as far as it got but it is reported as unmounted. What do I do next? I am reasonably handy at the command line I get to via a telnet. Here is what I see:

• admin@RT-AC88U:/tmp/home/root# fdisk /dev/sdb1
• 
  
• The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 60563.
• There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
• and could in certain setups cause problems with:
• 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
• 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
• (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
• 
  
• Command (m for help): p
• 
  
• Disk /dev/sdb1: 500.1 GB, 500105249280 bytes
• 256 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60563 cylinders
• Units = cylinders of 16128 * 512 = 8257536 bytes
• 
  
• Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
• /dev/sdb1p1 ? 266306 266306 2147483647+ ff Unknown

• /dev/sdb1p3 ? 266306 266306 2147483647+ ff Unknown
• /dev/sdb1p4 ? 266306 158686 1279637119+ ff Unknown
• 
  
• Command (m for help):

What next?

Thanks!

Here is what tried:

• admin@RT-AC88U:/tmp/home/root# mkdir /mnt/sdb1p1
• admin@RT-AC88U:/tmp/home/root# mount /dev/sdb1p1 /mnt/sdb1p1
• mount: mounting /dev/sdb1p1 on /mnt/sdb1p1 failed: Invalid argument

Do I need to do something like this?

• mke2fs /dev/sdb1p1

I skipped that because I didn't want to make any changes to the disk before I was sure of what I was doing.

TO ANSWER MY OWN QUESTION:

I plugged the SSD into a Windows 10 system and ran the setup program that appeared on the drive. After that, plugging the drive into the router's USB 3 port showed the drive and allowed me to format it using the the router's web page.
