Since I installed a SATA RAID array, there has been a "Safely Remove
Hardware" icon appearing in the system notification area. When
clicked, it opens a window that allows you to close down one or both
of the drives in the array. Since these are by boot drives and am
using striping, shutting either down, in my view would be anything but
"safe" to shut down. I would prefer that the icon disappear
permanently. Aside from "hiding" it each time, is there a way to get
rid of it?

LOL so the OS reveals a bug as I*d call it, and what gets
offered as solution is a third party tool to remove the
icon. A internal SATA RAID shouldn't be classified as
"removable devices" PERIOD. The people who created the OS
should fix these kind of unnecessary *features* IMHO.

I have to agree with your assessment of the situation, but alas, that
is the state of software development these days!.

Mo the boot drive does not get loaded into RAM. It is not just a bug
in the OS but a general setting within the specs of the SATA drive
interface. SATA specifications did include a possibility to hot-swap
the drives. The drivers include the hot-swap feature but they do not
tell the difference between the boot drive or any other data drive.

On a correctly configured RAID system (RAID 1 or 5) any hard drive can
be "hot swapped."

I see, I didn't pay closer attention to the word RAID which
of course does imply that the one disk is *mirrored on
another disk, and in such a case disc one can indeed be
pulled.

I stand corrected, and thanks for the clarification. :-)

And yes if this is so then it isn't a *bug* either...
