Removable Storage

Default Description:

Manages and catalogs removable media and operates automated removable media devices. If this service is stopped, programs that are dependent on Removable Storage, such as Backup and Remote Storage, will operate more slowly. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.

Additional Information:

Used for managing removable media and backup services. Disable this service if you do not have items like tape backup devices, etc. If your CD ROM / DVD drive starts acting funny, (no auto play, etc) place this service into Automatic. Normally, this service does not need to be running and you will not miss any of its functionality.
