KDE can also auto mount devices, working with HAL (Hardware > Abstraction Layer). This part is a little tricky, how about changing it like this: Once a device is mounted, KDE can access all the information about the device, such as how to read it, how to write information to it, and more. Mounting a device is controlled by the tools provided by your operating system.

I presume this is for the user guide which is missing this info: ( http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdebase/userguide/multimedia.html#removable-disks )? If it's OK with you that I make the corrections above, I will mark this up and add it to the User Guide.
