Even if Linux does not support the device, it will still show up on lsusb if it is properly connected. I am not sure what happens if the device draws more power then is available at the port it plugs in to - but I would still expect something listed there. I would expect just about any USB storage device to work. The worst I would expect is to have to manually mount it.
