+### How do I access my external drive?
+
+External media such as external hard drives or flash drives plugged in via USB are available in the sys-usb VM.
+They can either be manually mounted with the `mount` command, or accessed conveniently via the graphical file manager which mounts them under `/run/media/user`.
+
+Devices which are passed from one VM to another via `qvm-block` show up as `/dev/xvd*` and must be mounted manually.
+See ["How to attach USB drives"](/doc/usb/#how-to-attach-usb-drives) for more information.
