When I plug an external drive (USB enclosure with a 2880 NVME) it shows up in Bluetooth devices as connected to BT 3.0. If I unplug it, it goes away. It's not a BT device. Stumped me.
 
Are you sure it doesn't have BT? What's the enclosure model? What shows up in device manager when you plug it in?

There was one other post I found when searching that said the same thing about a Western Digital external drive, which wasn't BT. The thread never specified a reason.

It's not connected to Bluetooth, just USB 3. The screen is just an awkward UI consolidation of all external user devices connected to your computer. The drive would have shown up in device manager under the BT heading as well (like your receiver and keyboard) if it were connected there.
 
Yeah, "& devices," "Other Devices." I hate it. It's a pita and a jumbled mess.
