If it's SATA, there won't be any jumpers.
This I had sussed.
Have you looked in dmesg to see what messages appear when you plug it in?
No, not yet.
On my machine, an external USB 3 drive (it has SATA internals) appears as /run/media/chris/New\ Volume/ where 'New Volume' is the name of the drive.
I have looked at 'Computer' and there's no trace of it there. All the usual drives mentioned, as are any other storage media I plug in.
dmesg does mention it, but doesn't say anything useful AFAICS. (It's only a USB2 device, but I don't expect that makes any difference to whether it's seen by Mint, or not.)
