Windows 10: Connecting external devices to pc

Until a few months ago, whenever I connected and disconnected a camera or external memory to my W10 desk-top pc, it was acknowledged in some way on connection and when I clicked on the appropriate icon in the notificatios area prior to disconnecting, I was given clearance to go ahead.
This no longer happens but I do still get a warning if the device is still 'talking' to the pc in any way.
How can I bring back this reassuring confirmation on connection and disconnection?
Thanks

Need help with connecting external pc to used for raid storage

Basically I want to set up raid in a separate pc to be used only for the hard drives.

But I don't know how I would best connect this raid setup into my computer.

• Do I use a NIC card to gigabit over multiple channels?
• Or perhaps a really long sata III cable?
• I don't want to connect it over the network. I just want to directly connect it.

Goals:

• Access data quick
• Keep hard drives external to PC
• Ease of use
• Keep costs down (hence DIY PC instead of prebuilt NAS)
• Expandability (hence DIY PC instead of prebuilt NAS)

How do I do this?

See this illustration.
