I just connected a 1GB Lexar Jump Drive Secure to my notebook.
I see it in /proc/bus/usb/devices and in dmesg, but I don't know which device it is in /dev. Is there a way to determine which it is?

I have SCSI, SCSI disk, SCSI generic, usb device filesystem, ehci, ohci, and usb mass storage in the kernel or as modules.

/dev/ud* is newer

perhaps check dmesg and /var/log/messages after recently inserting the drive
