Mounting new HDD, error: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock, missing codepage or helper program or other error

Recentely I've installed a new HDD in my system. After making a partition with Gparted, mounting it to a folder I made called /mnt/media and writing the necessary line in /etc/fstab I get the following message after sudo mount /mnt/media:

wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.

The fstab line:

UUID=f179af91-fab5-4632-9fe7-295262edf2ed /mnt/media ext4 default,user,rw,nofail,exec 0 0

The Gparted info:

What might cause this error and how to fix it? I've already checked for the usual things (fs type, mounting, fsck etc). I want to rule out if my new HDD is the issue.
