How does the system distinguish between USB sticks and external hard drives (other than size)?

I've noticed that Nautilus actions do not trigger OSD notifications. Removing external media by right-clicking within nautilus will not generate OSD notifications.

The OSD notification behavior is not consistent. In 12.04 right-clicking and Ejecting in the LAUNCHER triggers an OSD notification, but right-clicking and selecting Safely-Remove in the launcher does not.

I think that any action on external media - from the Launcher or from Nautilus - should generate OSD notifications whether its Eject, or Safely Remove, or Unmount, etc.
