You actually have a lot more than /proc/bus/usb/devices. There's the system log showing the /dev/sdX device created when the disk was connected. There's the contents of /proc/scsi. There's sysfs, in particular /sys/class/scsi_host/... There's even a hotplug event that occurs at the time the disk is plugged in.
