Using the Z270 Extreme4 motherboard I have an M.2 card installed eliminating SATA3 0 and 1. I have an optical drive and 3 other SSD/HDDs occupying SATA3 2 thru 5. I just installed a SATA3 HDD drive into ASMedia A1. With BIOS 2.70 and running Windows 10 64-bit v.1803, OS build 17134.191, the newly installed HDD shows up as SCSI and removable. There's a lot of information on the internet regarding this phenomenon, but I wanted to ask for advice here first. Thanks, Bob
