USB drives are supported by the SCSI drivers. Make sure you have the
relevant SCSI options compiled into the kernel.
In fact, the kernel has deprecated support for SATA under IDE and the
"modern" SATA support is under SCSI. On my system, the BIOS shows
my SATA interface as a 3rd IDE intf but nevertheless my Linux kernel
uses SCSI. Granted, it's not an external USB device, but I still think it
would be worth double-checking what support you have configured into
your kernel, and also compare how your Debian host is accessing the
disk as with the lsmod command, for example.
