1) Verifique se há dmesg
logs
dmesg | grep -i USB
OU less /var/log/dmesg
Os registros acima podem sugerir um dispositivo de armazenamento USB encontrado:
[ 1.871577] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
[ 1.871749] scsi6 : usb-storage 3-2:1.0
[ 1.871807] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage
[ 1.871808] USB Mass Storage support registered.
2) Verifique se o HDD USB está localizado

3) O disco pode ser detectado, mas o UDEV não pode montá-lo, pois pode haver problemas com as regras. Execute o seguinte comando ao inserir / remover a unidade USB e veja se consegue ver uma saída semelhante.
