What controller is the drive connected to?

^This.
Chances are you connect it to a controller set up for eSATA, and thereby, identifies the devices as an external device.

ACHI will show the drive as removable, it will just not let you remove it if you try.
both my 320 and 520 are hooked up to their respective motherboards PCH and I have the option to remove both. Tried to remove the 320, wouldn’t let me.
Both boards are using Windows 7 w/ up to date PCH Drivers.

You're using a P67. Grrr... I don't know what, but I did something (not sure if I set up something on the BIOS or in IRST) to make two of my ports appear as eSATA (the ports that are connected to my hotswappable 800D tray).
I'll try to find it and post it here.

Thing is. My Main system doesn't have this option anymore. Though it used to. I forget what I changed to remove it.. (There is a registry fix for it.. But I didn't do that).
Like someone said; you can't remove your boot drive. It won't let you. But some people report slower performance after you've tried.. Apparently. Not sure on the validity on that.

I highly doubt it gives slower performance. IIRC, it just tells the OS "Hey, this device here can be removed, so, list it there, to let the user know".
Can you change it from "optimize for quick removal" to "optimize for performance" in device mgr?
