With Yosemite I'm 95% sure that I had my internal RAID0 drive hidden on the desktop, but I was still able to display actual external drives when they were plugged in. Anyone know how to do this?

As many know, OSX views RAID0 drives as external and uses that icon.

Thanks.

Whether or not OS X treats a volume as "external" depends on how it's connected to the computer. RAID 0 volumes created internally on native disks in a Mac that has 2 disks don't show up as external. RAID volumes attached to a RAID card may or may not show as external.
You can hide the entire volume by following steps in this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/how-to-hide-a-specific-drive-from-desktop.1302248/

Yup, mine are created with the OSX tool, but the drives themselves are mounted to PCI cards. Thanks!
