Actually you can vey effectivly control this type of access if you need to. If the device is built it go to the managment console and disable the device in disk managment. Also set the policy so the user cannot install new hardware, this will prevent them from installing a drive that they brought in them selves. By the way, what about CD-rom burners? Many PC's have them installed why not complaine about these, they can take about 650 MB of data after being formated and are vey easy to transport. Don't get me wrong I am not a windows fan but this type of article just spreads disinformation about a very usful tool. A tool that can be effectivly controlled if the networks administrator has the will to learn how to run the OS they have been entrusted with.
