SOLVED 'Eject Expansion Disk' message typo?

[brian_mk]

I have an external USB 5TB Seagate expansion disk connected to my Win 10 desktop (Version 1803).
If I click on the 'up arrow' icon in the windows task bar followed by the icon for the USB drive, one of the options I get is 'Eject Expansion Desk'.
'Desk' has to be a typo. It should be 'Disk'.

It's not a big deal but I was wondering if the text for this message is built into Windows or could it originate from the disk drive itself or even the BIOS?
Has it been corrected in a later Windows update?
I tried a Google search to see if this was a known error but found nothing.

It could be the Label on the drive itself, right-click the drive letter itself and see if there is a Rename choice? If so, call it what you want, I use WD2TB [brand and size] for a USB drive. The name can be up to 11 or 13 characters.

 

[Trouble]

It's probably branding by the manufacturer
Just like mine says Eject Elements 25A2

13 Letters assigned by Western Digital even though I labeled it as seen WD_2TB
I assume it's a Seagate Expansion Desktop drive or Deskstar or some other such wording.

I just changed the name of my C drive from Local to Windows 10. Now I get the same lettering as you do. Before it just said C drive.

If I open Windows Explorer, right click on the drive letter and select Properties, under the 'General' tab, the name I get is 'Seagate Expansion Drive'.

If I look in Device Manager under 'Disk Drives', it's listed as 'Seagate Expansion Desk SCSI Disk Device'.
This looks a bit odd, not just because of the word 'Desk' but also because it's a USB device and not SCSI.

Looking through the various Properties under the 'Details' tab I can see a number of references to 'Desk Device'.
In particular, the 'Display Name' property is given as 'Seagate Expansion Desk SCSI Disk Device'.
As far as I can tell, It's not something the user can easily change unless you edit the registry:-

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\SCSI\Disk&Ven_Seagate&Prod_Expansion_Desk\000000

Based upon pages found on https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Seagate+Expansion+Desk&t=ffnt&ia=shopping I'd say the typo is most likely that it should be Desktop rather than just Desk.

As for SCSI I saw it a few years ago when it was also meant as USB in some BIOSes, kind of a catch-all thing before USB became more popular.

Added: If you do decide to edit the Registry I'd suggest clicking on Computer at the top of list on left side, then clicking File and choose Export, save elsewhere as a backup of the Registry.

Yes I think you are right...

The name 'Seagate Expansion Desk SCSI Disk Device' contains both 'Desk' and 'Disk' so it's most probably not a typo but a reference to the device being an external desktop drive rather than an internal drive.

As it's probably intentional, I'm going to leave things alone.

Sounds like a good plan.
