    How to set a SATA port as external/removable media?


    AVE...I have a SATA disk tray in my PC connected directly to SATA port on the motherboard and PSU. I wanted to use it for plugging in 3,5" SATA HDDs to use as backups and temporary storage extensions. Everything works fine: I inserted the HDD into the tray, it was detected, and in Disk Management tool diskmgmt.msc I set it up as MBR type with single NTFS volume. This works fine. The problem is that the OS sees it as fixed disk and doesn't allow me to easily remove/eject. To remove it now I have either shut down/reboot and unplug it then, or take it offline by navigating to proper settings me

    SATA internal HDD and external SATA HDD

    using a USB makes it a external drive to the system. suggest that you do some research on USB vs SATA.
