It's fairly easy to tell:  boot with a Knoppix or other LiveCD and see if
USB works.

Debian USB support (at least in Testing) continues to be unreliable.  Just
Thursday I plugged in my own removable hard drive, which worked fine as
/dev/sde.  I removed it, used it on another box, then plugged it back in to
transfer files ... and no detection, no /dev/sde existed, and no messages in
/var/log/messages when I plugged or unplugged it.  I tried restarting udev,
and even rmmod'ed all USB related modules and re-modprobed them, and it
still won't detect the drive.
