How do i hide hdds in 'Safely Remove Hardware'?

I running a DFI Lanparty UT nf4 ultra-d, and i got 2 wd hdds in raid-0 - in my system tray by the clock i get the safely remove hardware icon and its listing both my hdds to remove...

how do i disable or stop the safely remove hardware option from listing my hdds, removing them would be bad lol...

also i dont want to completly hide the feature because i use usb thumbdrives from time-to-time and i remove them thru this option.

Go to Control Panel >> Taskbar & Start Menu, make sure Hide Inactive Icons is checked at the bottom of the new window, and click the Customize button next to it...

In the new window, find Safely Remove Hardware, and to the right, select Always Hide Dunno how to make it show for usb drive though, might be a way...

I've got the same thing, but don't really care... you know, unless you enable write caching for your usb thumbdrives, you can just yank them straight out, you don't need to "safely remove" them or anything.
