Internal SSD is recognized as external hard drive
Internal SSD is recognized as external hard drive I have installed a new internal SSD in my MacBook Pro and now it is shown to me as an external hard drive.
What can you do about it being recognized as internal?
New built-in hard drive: OWC Aura SSD (480GB)
Is this a good question?

Go into 'About This Mac' then select 'System Report' Please take a screen shot of the 'Storage' window, then take a shot of NVMExpress window (you may need to slide the slide up a bit to get all of the info).
