Bug Description

Currently, the only thing you can know from the devices in the sidebar is that they are there. You can browse their files, but you can't interact with the actual devices.

I think a good idea would be to have an option in the right-click menu for Properties, where it shows its name, its capacity, its filesystem, and so on. And also, for removable media, the option to rename the device.

Some say this corresponds to the Disk Utility, but the casual user just expects to see information about the device in the file manager, because it's shown there. Obviously, the Disk Utility would include advanced features such as disk partitioning and the like.
