Nautilus is able to display mounted volumes. Simply run this command to enable the option:
Code:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.desktop volumes-visible true
Another idea would be to remove Thunar and keep xfdesktop as desktop manager. However, you won't be able to do some tasks like creating new folders on your desktop or viewing file/folder properties.
