There will always be a /dev device name for every hard drive, whether
external or internal, but when automounting is working as it should, USB
sticks and drives should appear as /media/xxxx.  If the device has a Label,
it should be /dev/LABEL (unless you have overridden it - I'm not sure if
that's possible in Gnome, but once I have it mounted in KDE, I can give it
a different name and that gets remembered next time it's mounted)
