As far as I can see, any filesystem plugged in after Ubuntu has booted will be auto-mounted. Filesystems that are present on boot need to be specifically referenced in fstab. I have the line: /dev/sdb1 /media/storage auto defaults 0 0 in fstab. This mounts whatever drive is in my trayless caddy at boot. Usually a 1 TB storage drive, but sometimes a drive with Windows on it. One is formatted ext4 and the other ntfs. It mounts either.
