    The easiest way to do this would be to do it with GUI

    • Go to disk app (through Unity Dash or terminal with gnome-disks command)
    • Choose your partition
    • Click the little gear icon Gear icon
    • Select Edit mount options
    • Toggle Automatic Mount Option to Off
    • Edit mount point to /media/ronin_cunningham/StorageDevice

    On a side note, this will also enable your partition to be mounted automatically on start up, If you don't want that to happen then make sure to

    • Un-mark Mount at Startup

    You'd want to do this if your Bootup times are slow
