--- Comment #2 from Gaelan Lloyd <glp.xfcebz at eml.cc> ---
Hey guys, this is my first post on here!

Changing from "i.e." to "e.g." is a good idea, but what if we could rewrite the
sentence to eliminate the need for the example?

We could use the same caption text that appears on the "Removable Drives and
Media" settings screen: "Configure management of removable drives and media."

That might simplify and standardize things with less work (as I'm assuming that
string is already-translated since it's part of the settings UI).

Other ways to write the sentence without the example are:

"Configure the management of removable drives, devices, and media."

"Configure the management of removable drives, media, and USB devices with
built-in storage."
