What do you mean by "it's not there"? If it is not there at all,
even by ID numbers, then I would check the USB connection. Even if
Linux does not support the device, it will still show up on lsusb if
it is properly connected. I am not sure what happens if the device
draws more power then is available at the port it plugs in to - but
I would still expect something listed there.
I would expect just about any USB storage device to work. The worst
I would expect is to have to manually mount it.
