"fdisk -l" just list /dev/sda (Internal). "journalctl -f" and "dmesg" both list nothing.

Watch the output when you plug in the drive. Both "udevadm" commands lists nothing after plugging the drive. The only way to make the drive detected is to run as root the following command : "echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host5/scan" Found it with google :) Immediately after that, disk is detected.
