External drive doesn’t appear in fdisk in Ubuntu


I’m trying to mount an external drive to my Ubuntu 18.04 laptop. After plugging it in to an USB port something appears in `dmesg`: Code: [15352.253687] usb 2-3: new SuperSpeed Gen 1 USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd [15352.274545] usb 2-3: New USB device found, idVendor=357d, idProduct=7788, bcdDevice= 1.14 [15352.274547] usb 2-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [15352.274548] usb 2-3: Product: USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge [15352.274549] usb 2-3: Manufacturer: JMicron [15352.274550] usb 2-3: SerialNumber: 7380741B [15352.276489] usb 2-3: UAS is blacklisted for this device, using usb-storage instead Also, I see a new entry in `lsusb`: Code: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 357d:7788 Sharkoon QuickPort XT However, nothing new appears when I run `sudo fdisk -l` or `ls /dev`. The drive worked just fine when I last used it a few weeks ago. Maybe an update messed something up? Thanks for your suggestions :)
