Safely Remove my Harddrive?

[hypnotoad1]

Just got my new computer built and everything is running fine, but in the taskbar there's an icon to "Safely Remove Hardware" for my harddrive. This is the drive.

Never used a SATA drive so I have no idea if this is normal or what to do about it. Any help would be appreciated.

As the previous poster pointed out this is by design. You can disable the icon if you like. Go to the task bar properties and then choose customize.

Don't worry about it. It's perfectly normal.
