Your stick does not even show up in the output of lsusb, which is quite worrisome. Normally, components for which a suitable driver does not exist may not work, but at least they are correctly identified and reported by lsusb. Also, if you google around, you will see that it is a well-known and widely available stick, even under Linux.

So the problem may reside in your USB plug. Two questions:

1. Are you sure your USB port works? Could you test it with hardware other than the OCZ ATV?

2. Try plugging your stick into a different USB port, especially a non-USB-3.0 port (the blue ones). In the past, there was a bug that prevented USB-2.0 appliances from working when plugged into a USB-3.0 port.

3. Do the following experiment: Unplug your stick, issue the command:

   tail -f /var/log/{messages,kernel,dmesg,syslog}

Now plug the stick in its port, and monitor the output of the command. It should contain error messages, if any is produced.
