If you want to known the drive name in the /dev/ folder, I normally




  • disconnect USB

  • in a terminal, type dmesg -w

  • insert USB


And the kernel will show some messages including the name of your device.
Other options are



lsblk
sudo blkid
sudo fdisk -l


And you may want to check this to mount it.
