Is there any way to make a microSD internal storage and not ejectable media?

Hi,

in the laptop of my 2nd system I want to have a permanent microSD as a parallel storage, 256GB. Since it's going to stay there forever and very rarely removed, I wonder if there's any way to hide it from this menu:

1738326777777.webp

Basically, that it is treated as an internal SSD.

OR ideally I just want to hide it from there, so the USB icon is not triggered, doesn't matter how it's treated as a storage, I just want that USB icon to only show the external USB drives I insert (if there are none plugged in, the icon disappears), and not this microSD.

Thank you!

Not sure what you mean by 'not ejectable' unless you mean to solder the card to your system board.

    Gave Dell touch screen with Windows 11 to daughter and got me an OTVOC. Being a PC builder I own many desktop PCs as well. I am a father of five providing PCs, laptops, and tablets for all my family, most of which I have modified, rebuilt, or simply built from scratch. I do not own a cell phone, never have, never will.

It's pretty self-explanatory...

Can you eject a microSD card from a laptop or PC with this icon?

1738330064001.webp

YES.

Can you eject your OS drive, or HDD drive, or SSD drives, connected to SATA or M.2?

NO. Because they are non-ejectable, they are internal. THIS is what I want to transform my microSD card to. The video is not doing what I want to achieve. Thanks.

I don't think it's possible without converting the card into a sata drive!

With the exception of Group Policy, perhaps...

Not sure if you'd want to do this, but one option would be to use Windhawk and taskbar styler to hide that menu option - but that would also mean that you wouldn't have the "Safely Remove Hardware" option for any other drives/cards/devices that you installed either.

No, that would not be an option. I want to remove the actual removable temporal drives. I wanna use the microSD as a kind of a permanent storage.

Thanks! Gonna check it later!!!

Also, one thing I noticed is my microSD sometimes will go 100% usage for no reason (I'm monitoring with Task Manager) and stay like that until I access it. The microSD is fine, it must be some W11 thing... it's so random.

Also...

Shouldn't a microSD be treated as an SSD, not an HDD?
What about optimization?
If it's treated as an HDD, the defrag is nonsense for microSDs.

It could depend on how the MicroSD reader was attached to your MOBO. Some are done via a USB type of interface (although internal) rather than via the internal SATA Bus.

Not sure why you'd want to waste your time doing this though !!! -Seems a bit of a pointless use of "The Little Grey Cells" to me.

install portable version of windows on it.. and boot from it. I am not real sure, but believe the sdcards were not designed for the abuse it would take as a full OS. But, it should still work, as they do in Linux too.

I bought one of these a few weeks ago: PNY 256GB PRO Elite V2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Flash Drive – 600MB/s

It has the speeds of a USB hard disk, and might be a worthwhile option. With the speed this one offers, it might be a worthwhile candidate. I find it interesting that it's identified as a SCSI drive, not a USB device.

Red dot is a standard 32GB USB FLASH drive, the green dot is the 256GB high speed drive.

The SCSI designation also allows additional performance settings if you're so inclined. Note that the 256GB drive has additional options mimicking a hard drive.

Personally, I want my USB drives disconnected when I'm not accessing them, that way the data is truly protected.
