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:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0bc2:231a Seagate RSS LLC Expansion Portable Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 005: ID 138a:0017 Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS 5011 fingerprint sensor Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04ca:705a Lite-On Technology Corp. Bus 001 Device 002: ID 056a:504a Wacom Co., Ltd Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub 

And when I run dmesg | tail - n 20 after plugging it in, I get messages about it being recognized:

[ 152.265336] usb 2-4: new SuperSpeed Gen 1 USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd [ 152.286227] usb 2-4: New USB device found, idVendor=0bc2, idProduct=231a, bcdDevice= 7.07 [ 152.286229] usb 2-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 152.286230] usb 2-4: Product: Expansion [ 152.286231] usb 2-4: Manufacturer: Seagate [ 152.286231] usb 2-4: SerialNumber: (Serial Number) [ 152.869311] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage [ 152.879025] scsi host2: uas [ 152.879653] scsi 2:0:0:0: Direct-Access Seagate Expansion 0707 PQ: 0 ANSI: 6 [ 152.880537] sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0 [ 160.903627] usbcore: registered new interface driver uas 

But when I run sudo fdisk -l, there's nothing listed for it, just my main laptop hard drive and the SD card I have inserted:

Disk /dev/sda: 238.5 GiB, 256060514304 bytes, 500118192 sectors Disk model: SanDisk SD8TB8U2 Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: 497E6685-2462-443E-8542-1FE0E694330E Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sda1 2048 534527 532480 260M EFI System /dev/sda2 534528 567295 32768 16M Microsoft reserved /dev/sda3 567296 62007295 61440000 29.3G Microsoft basic data /dev/sda4 498069504 500117503 2048000 1000M Windows recovery environment /dev/sda5 62007296 166864895 104857600 50G Linux LVM /dev/sda6 166864896 489678847 322813952 154G Linux LVM /dev/sda7 489678848 498069503 8390656 4G Linux swap Partition table entries are not in disk order.

Similarly, when I try to run lsblk, there's nothing listed there out of the ordinary:

NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 238.5G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 260M 0 part /boot/efi ├─sda2 8:2 0 16M 0 part ├─sda3 8:3 0 29.3G 0 part ├─sda4 8:4 0 1000M 0 part ├─sda5 8:5 0 50G 0 part / ├─sda6 8:6 0 154G 0 part /home └─sda7 8:7 0 4G 0 part [SWAP] mmcblk0 179:0 0 14.9G 0 disk └─mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 14.9G 0 part 

Is there a way that I can still mount the hard drive?

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

  • what about lshw -class disk? Commented Jun 25, 2019 at 18:58
  • @TimKennedy Looks like no, can't post here but I'll update the post. Commented Jun 25, 2019 at 19:03
  • it's the UNCLAIMED device in the lshw output. scsi@2:0.0.0. Same scsi ID as the disk above in in the dmesg output. 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. Commented Jun 28, 2019 at 1:04
