Bug Description
I have several partitions of the same size on my hard drive. Nautilus refers to all of them as "20.0 GB medium", so I have to guess which one I want to mount.
Nautilus should show the real device name, like "/dev/sdb2". There are several options to do this, the label could read
a) sdb2 (20.0 GB)
b) sdb2 (20.0 GB medium)
c) 20.0 GB (sdb2)
d) 20.0 GB medium (sdb2)
I prefer option a.

I can confirm that. This could be confusing for new users which don't know how to check which is the right partition.
I can also add that if a label (name) for a partition exists, Nautilus uses it instead of the default "20GB medium" text.
Ie. my Windows partition has a label "Win" and Nautilus shows it as "Win".
