It used to, but suddenly now it doesn't. The device shows up in the following:
dmesg | tail -1
[394191.758315] usb 2-1.3: new high-speed USB device number 9 using ehci_hcd
...which I know is the correct device because:
lsusb | tail -1
Bus 002 Device 009: ID 1058:1021 Western Digital Technologies, Inc. Elements 2TB
identifies device 9 as the USB drive in question. This is what fdisk -l gives me:

Partition table entries are not in disk order
The device does not show up in /media. Also, it auto-detects and works fine in Windows. Any help is much appreciated.

I never figured this out. In the end, I just did a clean install of 14.04 and it's not an issue for me now. – RTF – 2014-10-06T18:56:45.857
