No need to be so offensive. There are known issues with 11.0 and USB 
disks (Bugzilla). Some people, some disks, not all, are affected. He 
might.

Even the times the kernel sees his drive, it doesn't give a full report; 
and when he tries to partition it, it disappears. I can't consider that as 
the kernel fully seeing the drive.

Yes, I concur that connecting directly to the SATA port is a good 
procedure, but I am of the opinion that testing with 11.1 will also be a 
good procedure. Both tests can give useful data.
