64 scsi9 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
65 usb-storage: device found at 17
66 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
67 Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST660211USB Rev: 4.06

70 sda: Write Protect is off
71 sda: Mode Sense: 73 00 00 08
72 sda: assuming drive cache: write through
73 SCSI device sda: 11719008 512-byte hdwr sectors (6000 MB)

77 sda: sda1
78 Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi9, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
79 usb-storage: device scan complete
