Looks like /dev/sda needs a partition table, partitioning and formatting. I would use
gparted for that, choose GPT, not MBR/MSDOS.
This assumes /dev/sda is the drive you mean. If you want any data that is on it, this will wipe everything, 100%.
After you format one of the partitions with a file system, use EXT4 unless you have good reason for some other file system, then you can mount it almost anywhere. Use the fstab for that. Google will find a guide - "ubuntu fstab" is the search term.
BTW, if
Code:
3 6209MB 512GB 506GB ext4
is being used for / on the NVMe, I'd reduce that as much as possible - 25G for the OS is vastly more than needed. Then I'd setup /home on the NVMe with another partition - probably around 20G for everything except media. Then I'd put media on the spinning disk and use symbolic links to make access easier. I wouldn't directly mount the spinning disk anywhere under HOME.
BTW, it is considered a best practice to leave 10-20% of an SSD unused. This should drastically extend the SSD life.
If you are really adventurous and want a much more flexible storage management solution, use LVM. Then resizing storage areas up is trivial and down it is much easier.
