Interal Drives as External?

[AngelOfBodom]

Hi everyone,

 

Upgraded my system and now experiencing my drives being read as external? I did *not* format them because I wanted to keep my data/games from those other drives (NOT boot//C drive).

 

They show up like this: 

 

I also went to Device Manager > Right clicked my drive & Properties > unchecked *Enable write caching on this device* and thought enabling Quick Removal would help, but nothing...

 

Any thoughts on how to change this?

 

 

(went from a 6700k to 3700x for both gaming and video editing/rendering production)

Disabling Hot Swap in the BIOS for the respective drives should do the thing I reckon.

This is the solution but honestly its not a problem. SATA is actually fully hot swappable as long as you eject them before disconnecting. Also they're not showing as external drives, Windows does know they're internal SATA drives.
