I would assume all devices get plugged in using a USB cable. If this is the case you can restrict access to the USB drives using Group Policy. This would also make thumb drives inaccessable if they have a use for them. Microsoft doesn't have a group policy attribute for this but does have this .adm file you can import.

We have this in place and it works well.
