Which is only for external devices. The widget you are looking for is
called the "Shelf", which will be available in KDE SC 4.5, to be
released in roughly 2 weeks (keep an eye on http://kubuntu.org for the
announcement). There you can add Fixed devices and Removable devices
in the settings, I also added Places to show my local and remote
folders as well as the trashcan for the example. See a screenshot
