USB storage not showing on Debian

[ItsShowtime]

Hi guys,

I am really confused about this issue, I cannot seem to find my USB storage on my Debain computer.
Both 'df' output as well as screenshot of Disks app can be found below.

This device is a 128GB SanDisk Extreme Pro USB stick. I have tried each (front) USB port on my desktop (both 2.0 as well as 3.0). Any other USB stick works as expected.
The USB stick works just fine on my Windows laptop, since it's brand new I tried formatting it to NTFS and also to ExFAT, but it is still not showing. I also tried deleting the volume on the Windows machine, and recreating it from scratch as well as formatting it in the process, this doesn't work either. I never tried a full format, only a quick one, if not mistaken that means it doesn't mess with the database/boot structure of partition during format. The USB blue light pinks when plugged into my Windows machine, and simply turns on without pinking when plugged into my Debian machine.
Windows Disk Management output can be found below

If I were to guess, this must be a driver that's missing to operate this high speed USB, but I don't want to break my system trying to find out the solution when still being unsure about the issue itself. I am not an expert.

Did you check the output of lsusb and dmesg before and after plugging the USB stick ?

[sgosnell]

Do you have fuse and ntfs-3g installed?

Hi there, sorry for the very late reply. I have been completely of the grid for some time. I didn't see anything popping up using the commands, output before and after can be found below:

Any ideas on what to try next?

Yes, both fuse and ntfs-3g were already installed.

I do not see the output of dmesg after plugging the USB drive.

Excuse me for the delay, I forgot to add the outputs, you can download them using the following links:

I did not see any difference between the two files, they are exactly the same. Unless you made a mistake and posted the same file twice, this means that the kernel did not detect the USB stick. This matches the output of lsusb showing no difference with or without the stick plugged in.
Kernel or hardware issue.

I just noticed the weirdest symptomps.

On my brother his new MacBook only a small part of the files present on this same USB can be listend and accessed (literally most of the files are just not listed in Finder or using the 'ls' command). We know Mac and Linux are supposed to have the same kernel for the bigger part.

On Windows I still haven't experienced any issues whatsoever.

Absolutely not.
