USB/SATA cable simply does not work on Ubuntu

I couldn't find an answer to my problem because all other similar questions have Ubuntu properly recognize the external HDD as a storage medium and assign it to /dev/sdb. If only it were this easy. It doesn't matter what HDD I plug into the cable, Ubuntu just does not recognize it. A /dev/sd[x] link is never assigned to it. lsusb lists the drive as ID 1234:5678 Brain Actuated Technologies VLI Product String (which gives zero hits on Google). I've hit a brick wall and don't know what else to do to access the files on the external hard drives.

This is the dmesg output:

[  812.784132] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 11 using xhci_hcd
[  813.672420] usb 2-3: new SuperSpeed Gen 1 USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd

[  813.703047] usb-storage 2-3:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected
[  813.703540] scsi host2: usb-storage 2-3:1.0

I don't know if this is relevant, but my cable has a separate USB dongle for power intake. The HDD is powered on and spins.

Thanks in advance!

Does it work with a different OS?

I don’t have any devices with other OSs I could test it on.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
