Hi everyone. I am new here.   I have a pesky problem regarding a new SATA SSD I've added to my motherboard to install Steam games on. My BOOT SSD just doesn't have enough room for games these days, so I've added a Crucial BX500 1TB 2.5in 3D NAND SATA SSD (CT1000BX500SSD1) to one of the available SATA ports. I was able to successfully set it up through Disk Management. But unfortunately, the new drive is showing as removable/ejectable media in the task bar.    I've tried a few things in attempts to get Windows to regard the drive as internal or non-removable to no avail. Simply ignoring it concerns me, as perhaps one day I'll accidentally eject the drive while it's in use and damage or corrupt files. I also heard that a drive being treated as removable is bad for performance or file integrity. Naturally, I wouldn't want this to be the case considering that I'll be running games off it.   Here's a list of potential fixes that did not work or were irrelevant: Write caching was/is already enabled I tried running the following command, but it returned "ERROR: Access is denied." reg.exe add “HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\storahci\Parameters\Device” /f /v TreatAsInternalPort /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d x Please note that I did include the correct Bus Number '0' in place of 'x' I also did a String Value REG edit for TreatAsInternalPort for Bus 0, then restarted my machine. There was no change and drive still shows as removable. I went in to BIOS in search of a Hot Swap setting to turn off, but there appears to be no specific setting option for hot swapping. Instead, it just shows the AHCI mode at top and controller enabled.  Please also note that all SATA drives listed in BIOS are marked as external disabled, if that means anything. Attached are screenshots of specs and settings, starting with my System Information.     Could someone please kindly assist me through correcting this issue? Do I need to manually update my BIOS firmware or some other drivers? Or am I perhaps missing a setting within my existing BIOS version to fix this?   I appreciate any and all help and will provide all details needed. Thank you for your assistance! Gezza   ...
