Nautilus mounts every drive as read-only

Hi. I recently did a fresh install of arch on my laptop. I'm using gnome with nautilus as my file explorer. I have 2 drives in my laptop : sdb is SSD with 4 windows partitions and 5th arch partition. There is also sda - 1TB HDD with 900 GB ntfs partition and 100GB ext4 partition. No matter which one I mount via gnome (clicking on drive icon), they are always mounted as read only (ro mount parameter). I also have all required permissions to /run/media/username where disks are mounted. I also have to enter my password everytime I mount a drive. This problem does not occur with USB drives.

Re: Nautilus mounts every drive as read-only

Did you use Windows before booting into Arch?
Are the partitions that can't be mounted formatted as NTFS?
The Windows system will lock all NTFS drives in the storage drive when it enters hibernation mode or (apparently) has "Fast Boot" option enabled.
