I just installed an SSD into my motherboard's third M.2 slot. After I booted up the computer, the secondary disk is now displayed like an externally connected one. There's an icon for it on the desktop, in the dock, and I can unmount it wherever I find the icon. I assume the OS should not treat an internal disk like this.-

- Additionally, there's an "unmount" action in the context menu for "Secondary 0", but not "Computer". I'd show a screenshot, but taking a screenshot doesn't work while Nautilus is presenting a context menu.
- If this is not how internal disks are supposed to be handled, why is it happening? How do I fix it? If, on the other hand, it is by design, how do I make it not appear like an external one?
- The disk already contained data that I need, when I installed it, and that is more data than I can move to the main disk, so any sort of reformatting is out of question.

Secondary internal disk is mounted as an external disk
I just installed an SSD into my motherboard's third M.2 slot. The disk already contained data I need when I installed it, and that is more data than I can move to the main disk. After I booted up the computer, the secondary disk is now displayed like an externally connected one. There's an icon for it on the desktop, in the dock, and I can unmount it wherever I find the icon. I assume the OS should not treat an internal disk like this.    Additionally, there's an "unmount" action in the context menu for "Secondary 0", but not "Computer". I'd show a screenshot, but taking a screenshot doesn't work while Nautilus is presenting a context menu. If this is not how internal disks are supposed to be handled, why is it happening? How do I fix it? If, on the other hand, it is by design, how do I make it not appear like an external one?
