How do I tell?  The "disk" is not a dedicated external disk any more as 
these were getting too expensive.  Rather, it is a Thermaltake BlacXDuet 
5G Dual HDD docking station that accepts two SATA drives, 2.5 in and 3.5 
in in all capacities.  URL:

I append the output from lshw with what I believe to be irrelevant 
sections removed.

As to the kernel, uname -a reports:  2.6.32-131.2.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP

Note that this motherboard has a number of USB ports, only one of which 
is USB 3 .  When I plugged-in the USB 3 cable from the dock, the dock 
recognized USB 3 (there is a blue SUPERSPEED text that illuminates), but 
the drive did not appear as /dev/sde .  However, this did automatically 
happen for a USB 2 port (please see the lshw report below).  As the bulk 
drive had only the drive low-level format, but no partitions or file 
systems per so, I am using dd to copy what I need .

Thanks,

Yasha Karant

BTW:  if this thread is "hijacked", my apologies.  Evidently Thunderbird 
does not allow one to use a simple copy mechanism and subsequent 
clean-up without extensions of which I am unaware, unlike much older 
straight text (curses) based applications such as elm or mutt.  At my 
university, the primary internal email services are not generally used 
for threaded use and thus the matter was never brought to my attention.
