Generally yes, this type of drive is supported by umass(4).

If a particular device doesn't work, try again with a -current snapshot,
if it still fails then post back here with a complete dmesg, usbdevs -dv,
and as much information as you can give about how it fails.

i386.html:

"USB Mass Storage devices, i.e., USB floppy drives and USB memory stick
controllers (umass)".

I think this could do with s/i.e./e.g./ and maybe add something
about other supported devices - it works as you'd expect with most
IDE-USB bridges connected to hard drives, CD writers, etc.
