Further investigation indicates that this entry was related to external media device connected via USB. My guess is that the USB external storage info obtained when the device is plugged in for the first time is stored someplace and since the drive may not ever be plugged into the NAS again it is not purged.
The area of SATA and USB external connections seems a mystery. External devices are 'recognized' once they are plugged in so obviously there must be some information about these devices saved someplace. It would be nice of NETGEAR had a way to purge that information or at least document where that information is saved.

The system reates an empty folder in /media to serve as a mount point for the USB drive.
There are some rare situations where data can end up in that mount point - for instance it can happen if a USB drive is removed during a backup job.

It would be nice if there were a way to delete the mount points from the GUI (and remove whatever other info might be in the database at the same time).
