USB storage - can see it, but how do I access it???

Hopefully this is a real easy one. I just added a 500GB Buffalo USB storage device to my system - SUSE 12.3 64bit fully updated. I can see the USB hard drive in KInfocenter, but I have no clue on how to get at it. I was expecting it to come up as a plug in device when I plugged it in, but it did not. Hoping I'll be able to get an icon on my desktop for it and start using it.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. My first USB storage device....
