Make SCSI Appear as Internal Hard Drive

I have the HighPoint RocketRAID 2720SGL Raid card running on my Mac and it shows as an external drive. I would like to make it appear as an internal drive.

Is this possible?

From:

SCSI External Raid

To:

Internal Drive

Here is the ouput from my System Profile: enter image description here


Do you have the following files?

  • /System/Libraries/Extensions/HighPointIOP.kext
  • /System/Libraries/Extensions/HighPointRR.kext

If so, copy both of them to your desktop, then:

  • Open those kexts and edit the Info.plist. Change all the 'External' references to 'Internal'
  • Copy the modified kexts back to '/System/Libraries/Extensions/' from your desktop.

Reinstall the kexts:

  • sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Libraries/Extensions/HighPointIOP.kext
  • sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Libraries/Extensions/HighPointRR.kext
  • sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Libraries/Extensions/HighPointIOP.kext
  • sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Libraries/Extensions/HighPointRR.kext
  • sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

After this:

  • go to your Disk Utility App and Repair your filesystem permissions.
  • Reboot.
