Description Justin Zobel 2025-01-31 01:00:35 UTC 
Currently, my USB drive shows up in the list as:
/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sda - USB SanDisk 3.2Gen1 (28.7 GiB).

The "/org/freedesktop/UDisks2/block_devices/sda" part isn't overly helpful for regular users.

I would like to see it just show "USB SanDisk 3.2Gen1 (28.7 GiB)" as that's what most users are going to care about. The brand/model and size of their USB drive to know which drive to write to.
