New build - I can eject my boot SSD + storage HDD

[Daviid5]

Where you can eject USB normall, I have an option on my new build to eject my ssd, which is my boot one and my hdd which I have for storage. How to fix that? I don't want to eject my ssd accidentally...

The system will not let you eject your boot drive anyway.

Part of the AHCI standard allows for this kind of thing(hot swap).

It may go away when you install the latest drivers for the motherboard.

Some boards also have a setting in the bios to enable and disable hotswap on a per port.

Installing the correct storage related drivers will fix that, but Windows will not allow it to be ejected anyways.

 

[Daviid5]

what kind of drivers?

 

[nukemaster]

If it is an Intel based system you would install Intel's driver and rapid storage manager in most cases.
AMD has its own drivers as do all makers.

You are looking for SATA/AHCI drivers. The board makers website will have them.

Windows has a built in functional driver. Nothing wrong with it, but you will have the option to eject the drive with that driver.

I have ASRock Extreme4 Z97 and I can't find them. Link anyone please?

Just select your OS and get the drivers you need.

Yeah, I have been on that site before and installed every driver, but it still didnt fix the problem
also, I don't see a SATA/AHCI driver...

Intel Rapid Storage Technology.

Now this assumes you are connected to that controller. Your board seems to list an Asmedia controller(ports closer to the memory). The Intel one would be best to use, but swapping is not always straight forward.

Again remember that this hot swap ability does not cause any actual issue.

Sooo, what do I have to install now?

 

[nukemaster]

What port did you plug the SSD and hard drive into?

Because you have 2 controllers, you may be on the asmedia one.

I am not sure if the other controller hide the eject option from drives or not.

 

[Daviid5]

SATA3_A0 and SATA3_A1

 

[nukemaster]

Those are the asmedia ones. You can try the Asmedia drivers(ASMedia SATA3 Driver) to see if it makes a difference, but hot swap is a feature of the board and the ports.
