Meh, that's nothing - just look at the multitude of directories forced upon any storage device you plug into something running Android.
Isn't it just SD cards it automatically prepares to use as an extension of the main filesystem by automatically mirroring the default filestructure onto it?
I usually only plug in SD cards, so I finally just grabbed my SSD to check - same thing happened. What kind of storage devices were you thinking it wouldn't happen to?
Well, I thought it only did it to inserted micro-SD cards, not external storage, but then, I never did plug external storage into a phone, so I guess I was wrong.
