Can you show us the other side of the drive? Curious what make/model this is supposed to be. Best guess is that this is yet another attempt by a PC manufacturer to sell un-upgradeable units that need to be either replaced as a whole, services only by then, or had at with wire snips and a soldering iron.
I'd say it's time to carefully cut out that tab (leaving the keys intact), and to start being more careful about what you buy.
