hint about editing your Finder preferences to show these external drives
on the Desktop, you can always view all the drives that are connected to
your computer by using the shortcut to display your computer setup,
cmd-shift-c. From Tim Kilburn's VoiceOver page on shortcuts, here are the
relevant ones for Finder browsing use and to use in save and open dialog
windows:

focus to the applications folder.

Brings focus to the Utilities folder.

the user's iDisk. [note: does not work for the newer OS or for older
versions of the OS after June 30, 2012]

to the users computer so that attached drives and removable media can be
easily accessed.

particularly useful if you want to move directly to a folder on any
connected drive. For example, if I want to copy files to or from a
specific folder of a flash drive, and I know the name under which the
flash drive gets mounted, which might be named:
> /Volumes/Crucial/Special
> in the case of my Crucial memory stick, where
I created a folder named "Special" for the contents, then I can use the
cmd-shift-g shortcut and then type the path "/Volumes/Crucial/Special"
(without the quotation marks) into the dialog text box and press enter to
go to that location. Or if you've already selected your flash drive from
your desktop or from the Finder view shown in cmd-shift-c, you can either
use cmd-shift-g and type "Special" into the dialog text box, or you can
navigate through the Finder tree view menu structure to the folder you
want. The cmd-shift-g shortcut is most useful when you have a particular
folder you want to get to --
often many levels deep -- and you know the exact pathname.

VoiceOver tips and tricks, and a few of his notes for specific
applications under Snow Leopard. Even though this is the older operating
system, most of the content applies. The nice thing about Tim's page is
that similar commands are grouped together, and he points out the most
useful features/applications. This material is also in the VoiceOver
Getting Started guide that you can access with VO-H, but it's laid out
from a practical user's perspective.
