You have been subscribed to a public bug: This is a very strange issue and I'm not sure what package is concerned here. When I plug my USB hard drive, a notification about available Software Updates appears. It seems that this notification is displayed only once per session and as long as updates are actually available but the behavior is consistent, I'll see this notification the second I plug my hard drive in.
Since those two things are completely unrelated, it is very unsettling and I wonder what could be causing it. I haven't noticed anything like this before 16.04 and I haven't noticed this behavior on my desktop computer, only on my laptop (but I don't use my USB HDD as often on my desktop so I'll have to double check).
