--- Comment #13 from Stefan Brüns <stefan.bruens at rwth-aachen.de> ---
The "removable" classification is done by the kernel (based on flags set by the
hardware), and forwarded via udisks2 to solid.

> Note that this is only a guess. 

But as this is a somewhat common problem, it is possible to override it, and
already for 12 years now:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22879#c9

Please try adding a file "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-fixup-removable.conf" with the
following contents (without the "---"):

---
# PCI SATA misclassified all drives as removable (probably eSATA), mark as
internal
SUBSYSTEMS=="pci", ENV{PCI_SLOT_NAME}=="0000:03:00.1",
ENV{UDISKS_SYSTEM_INTERNAL}="1"
# Probably better, use vendor/product ID of SATA expansion card:
# SUBSYSTEMS=="pci",  ATTR{vendor}=="0x0123", ATTR{device}=="0xabcd",
ENV{UDISKS_SYSTEM_INTERNAL}="1"
---

Afterwards, reload the udev configuration:
$> sudo udevadm control --reload

In case this does not work, please provide the output of:
$> udevadm info --export-db
