How to have SATA drives connected to an Intel RAID controller as removable drives

HI: we have a Supermicro Server with controller series Intel C600 and we would like to use some of their drives and ports as removable devices, to allow to copy media from one server to another. I mean:

-The controller has 4 ports with 4 disk on each, in total 16 records

-The first 4 ports will remain the same, not removable (BONES in Raid 1, media in Raid 0)

-Other ports (2-4) will be used with SATA SSDS, and we need to delete them via Eject hardware (such as a hard drive attached) and then be able to attach them on the backup server to read the media.

As far as I know, there is a DWORD I maybe need to add in the registry, but some help would be more than welcome to solve this problem.

It is the opposite, to not allow the HARD drive to be ejected.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\asahci64\Controller0\Channel0]
"TreatAsInternalPort"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\asahci64\Controller0\Channel1]
"TreatAsInternalPort"=dword:00000001

Thanks in advance!

Note: Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
