Some weeks ago i have bought "Trust direct access usb 2 multi connect bay" to have a fast and easy access to my usb ports, but i's not working at all.
Once I plug a usb disk I can't mount it because I can't device in /dev (i use udev)

Any ideas?

There aren't any special device nodes for usb drives. When you plug in a usb mass-storage device, linux usually pretends it's a SCSI hard drive (e.g. drive /dev/sda, partition /dev/sda1). Look for something like this
Code:
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
in your dmesg -- then you know the usb key is /dev/sda, and to access it you can mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
