[Bug 253599] Re: usb disc icons shoud be different from ordinary hdd icons

[Rodney Dawes]

It really depends on what the usb "disk" is. For usb memory devices (not
card readers), the appropriate naming scheme is media-flash-
usb-$make-$model. For usb memory devices that are memory cards, the
mounted icon names should be media-flash-$type-$make-$model (or simply
media-flash-$type). And for usb devices that are actually hard disks,
the drive-harddisk icon should be used (one could add the -usb
classifier, but it's generally not important information for external
hard disks that are usb. Sticking a usb icon on a harddisk isn't
particularly useful information in the icon, from a usability
perspective.

So really, this bug (and others like it) should probably be filed
against whatever package is providing the drive-harddisk-usb icon name,
for usb storage devices that aren't hard disks.
