Hi, i just found something that might be useful:
Windows 8.1, with native Intel Raid driver 12.0.1.1019 dated 08/09/2013, adding Device key under Parameters, then Controller0Phy0SafelyRemove, Windows will no longer display eject!

Edit:
found a way to do this with storahci

Add REG_MULTI_SZ TreatAsInternalPort in Device within each line is a channel, this will look like this:
1
 
TreatAsInternalPort          REG_MULTI_SZ          0 1 2 3 4 5

Any idea how to do this with RST v14 on AHCI (Win7 64Bit) with Fernandos drivers?

I only have these entries on my system (no iaStorAV nor storahci):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStor
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStorA
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStorF
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStorV

I tried this without success:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStorA\Parameters\Device]
"EnableQueryAccessAlignment"=dword:00000001
"Controller0Phy0HIPM"=dword:00000000
"Controller0Phy0DIPM"=dword:00000000
"Controller0Phy0SafelyRemove"=dword:00000000 <------ i added this entry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\iaStorA\Enum]
"0"="PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C02&SUBSYS_1C021849&REV_05\3&11583659&0&FA"
"Count"=dword:00000001
"NextInstance"=dword:00000001

Any ideas?

Welcome at Win-RAID Forum! I am sorry about my delayed reply.

Unfortunately I don’t know it myself.

I found the answer some years ago for an older version of Intel RST (I think it was v13)…
I’ll find it again.

In the meantime, try this (Post #3).
