m.2 Drives Showing as External

[psymbionic]

Hello all,

I have two m.2 NVMe drives in my x99 Hackintosh build. Following the work of @kgp (and his guide linked below, section E.5) M.2/NVME Configuration), I edited SSDT-NVMe-extern-icon-patch.aml using correct values from IORegistry and was able to solve the issue for one external drive, but not both. I also tried editing the .aml file to copy/paste the sections and enter the values from IORegistry for the 2nd drive, but that does not work. Any thoughts on possible solutions?


My build follows (an older version of) this guide:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...high-sierra-10-13-on-x99-full-success.227001/

Asus x99 Deluxe II
i7 6950x
Aorus 1080 Ti Waterforce (PCIe_1)
NVMe x 2 (1 in PCIe_4, one in m.2 slot)
MacOS 10.13.5
Dual boot Windows 10

Any thoughts on this? @RehabMan perhaps you have some insight?

Here's the code for the .aml file that works for one of my harddrives, but I'm not sure the syntax needed to edit it to be able to do more than one drive.

For anyone else that runs into this problem:

I was able to copy the entire patch .aml file and replace the values with the second drive.
