I have a Seagate SSD expansion drive that I haven't used in a few months that I'm trying to plug into my laptop (Lenovo Yoga 460 running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed). When I plug in the expansion drive, I'm not able to access it, and I think it's making a faint beeping sound but I can't quite tell.
It's being recognized by lsusb:

EDIT: Also doesn't show up with lshw -class drive:

lshw -class disk?lshwoutput.scsi@2:0.0.0. Same scsi ID as the disk above in in thedmesgoutput. Do you have external power for the USB drive? Or are you just plugging it in via a single USB port? You may not have enough power for it to come fully online.
