That screen is not in SYSTEM Preferences.


Make Finder the active application, such as by clicking on the Desktop.

Choose "Preferences" from The Finder menu

Open System Preferences and select the General tab to see the dialog above. Make sure the item pointed to is selected. This will make external disks (including thumb drives) appear on the desktop. If this is already checked then unplug the drive and adaptor and perform an SMC reset: How to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support Try plugging the drive & adaptor again
