I recently did a fresh install of 16.04 on the solid state drive, leaving a 1.8 TB unallocated partition on the internal HDD.
Somehow I can't access this partition on /dev/sda/ and also can't mount it:
sudo mount /dev/sda /media/sda/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 477 GiB, 512110190592 bytes, 1000215216 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Gparted shows /dev/sda/ as unallocated space.
Do I have to perform some type of disk repair? Or should I just allocate that space using Gparted?

You can't mount an empty disk, but only filesystems. Therefore you have to create a partition (/dev/sda1) on /dev/sda, make a filesystem in the partition and mount the partition /dev/sda1.
So use gparted to create a partition /dev/sda1, possibly covering the complete disk /dev/sda. Then sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda1 and sudo mount /dev/sda1 <your_mountpoint>.

This was exactly what I was looking for, many thanks. Now to have it automatically mounted I will have to edit /etc/fstab I presume.
