Any chance for option "Show removable drives only with disk" ?

Unfortunately there is no easy way to determine whether a drive is empty or not - TC would have to read from the drive, and this can take from just a fraction of a second to several seconds or even minutes, depending on the drive and its device driver...

That thread wouldn't be faster than in the foreground.

They could be disabled dynamically. Normally the results should be available fast.
