That is a good way. Best run it also before to be able to compare what was
added. On some machines it can be confusing.

I usually run dmesg to see if the USB device was properly detected and what
actual disks and partitions where discovered.

fdisk is more precise there because it shows what is a partition and what
not. Sometimes /dev/sdb is the device to be mounted and sometimes it is
/dev/sdf1.
