The easiest way is to use Yast to partition the drive and create a a
filesystem and mount point.

Or, you can use (in this order):

fdisk - to create partion(s) on that drive
mkfs.xxxx - to create a filesystem on that partition(s)
edit the fstab, to add mount points for the newly created partition(s)
