- Disk devices
- CDROM devices
- Floppy devices
- Storage Volumes
- WPD devices (Vista, Win7, Win8 and higher only)
and their registry items under
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMMountedDevices
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetEnum
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlUsbFlags
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlDeviceClasses

Disk, CDROM and Floppy devices are removed only if they are USB or if they have a removal policy > 1 (EXPECT_ORDERLY_REMOVAL or EXPECT_SURPRISE_REMOVAL).
