The difference is that you know what would be connected. You just don't know whether it is connected. So if you've decided that you are not going to automount new media, there is no need to detect hotplugs. For an external port this conclusion cannot be drawn. Which opens up an opportunity for optimisation. Should we disable polling for new media on card readers that are internal and connectable and have only one LUN?
