I have just installed a 2nd SSD, and for some reason Windows 7 sees 2nd SSD as removable storage. Is it normal?.
 
Check your BIOS settings for Hot Plug/Swap capability for the port it's connected to.
There have also been occurrences of this happening when the Intel Rapid Storage Technology software is installed.
 
If AHCI/Hot Swap is enabled in your bios, it will come up as a removable drive. Sometimes boards (mostly older ones) will automatically enable hot swap when AHCI is used, with no option to disable it.
 
Thanks man for the answer. So there is nothing to worry about than.
 
After checking the User's Manual for your MoBo, it seems that Hot Plug capability is turned on when AHCI Mode is used, with no option to disable Hot Plugging when in AHCI Mode.

Page 31 of the manual.
 
No problem! I feel your frustration with that - my backup PC does the same thing and it irritates me to no end.
