I have a Corsair R60 ssd disk which is a disk with both sata and usb connectors. But the usb thing seems to be a bit non-standard, or maybe its just my fedora linux.

When I insert the disk using a usb cabel to a running Fedora 14 linux system, a device called /dev/sg3 is added but that is all. No new /dev/sd* device is created so I can't mount the disk.

If I look at cat /proc/scsi/sg/device_strs I get

ATA             Hitachi HTS54321        FB2O
HL-DT-ST        DVDRAM GSA-T50N         RP05
Seagate         Desktop                 0130
Corsair         CSSD-R60GB2

So the disk is there. (The last entry) but my linux will for some reason not see it as a usb hard disk. When I insert other usb disks they work fine. It is only this specific disk which causes problems. I have tried on 3 different computers with the same result.

A hint to the problem may be that if I add the disk to a windows system(With usb) the disk is called "A fixed disk" and not a portable disk as expected. The disk works fine with linux If i connect it with the sata cabel, but I would really like to have it working with usb too. (To mount it on computers without sata).

Added: I did try to mount /dev/sg3 but mount say that its not a block device. (File say Its a character special device).

Added output from dmesg:
