@David Mitchell #7, Thank you for posting your work-around solution. That just helped me get a client's Western Digital 2.5" 500GB USB HDD to attach.

lsusb alone would not alert the computer to the drive's presence.
Your step allowed lsusb to see the drive.

I did notice that AFTER running your command, the "Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub" device disappears from the output of lsusb.
