[ script to first check if the device is available and then mount it ]

I think you just touched the real source of the problem; in my
experience, USB-HDD's take some time to initialize (more than
pendrives).

In my case, i have to wait 10 seconds after plugging it in, so a
script to mount it (or use an automounter) will probably work just
fine.
