I use a collection of external harddrives and usb mem sticks for primary storage and for backups. For no reason apparent to me sometimes I can see all (as primary storage - a Seagate Free Agent 250GB, an IOmega RPHD-UG 250GB I think, a 320GB Toshiba, a nameless 32GB mem stick and finally as backup - a 3TB Seagate) and sometimes only some of them.
cat /proc/version gives this:
Linux version 3.17.1-1-ARCH (nobody@var-lib-archbuild-testing-x86_64-tobias) (gcc version 4.9.1 20140903 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 15 15:04:35 CEST 2014
The PC is Dell E4300, 2 MB of RAM I think.

I suspect that the KUser settings are important (wheel etc) but I have never been able to find a KDE list of exactly what does what.
I have them all connected via a Sitecom hub model CN-052. (And quite often I need to charge my mp3 player and get access to the SD card from the camera. I think that Linux and Arch should handle this without any problem?
I have tried various file managers such as Dolphin and Nemo.
The transfer speeds are usually slow. This would not be a big problem if I could consistently see the devices and the contents.
I only have two usb ports, one for the hub and one for the wireless mouse.
Any suggestions?

I think you have 2 GB, not 2 MB of RAM :-)
Update your system. If the kernel has been updated, reboot.
If you run into problems, check the logs, systemd's journal and dmesg.

Maybe your USB hub is faulty. Does each device work as expected when connected directly to the PC?

Problem solved by going from 2GB (thank you for correcting me) to 4. The PC will not take more but it works quite well. I should have tried that a year ago ... Thanks for your suggestions.
