SSD "Time out waiting for device"

Hi. I’m fairly new to Fedora so I’d appreciate every help. I digged a bit and I found out the SATA SSD where I have Windows installed is giving me some kind of error on boot. It’s not on auto-mount and I never mounted that drive in Linux, it’s only for emergency. I formatted my HDD yesterday to btrfs so I thought it’s related, and if I’m correct (I hope) it’s not. The two time out in question: “/dev/disk/by-uuid/140ED5C20ED59CD4” and “/dev/disk/by-uuid/57e3d2e7-5aff-40e9-8a17-bc43813c0977”
As far as I know, these two are related to the external SSD. Why am I getting errors for it when it’s not mounted? I wouldn’t say its a big problem but I would like to fix it if its possible, I don’t like errors. Thanks for reading!

Linux will still try to discover partitions on disks whether or not its mounted. I’m wondering if there’s maybe something with bitlocker here keeping Linux from doing that. Is it otherwise impacting anything?

It’s not impacting anything so far, so it’s not really a problem. It’s not even consistent, sometimes I get it before boot, sometimes not. Just want to make sure it’s not something I should worry about.
