I have a jetdrive that i'm using permanently in my macbook air SD card slot. I'm wanting to make it so that the drive does not show up in my desktop or sidebar, but is accessible through a folder. I have the folder set up there for it, but can't seem to make the drive disappear from my desktop.
I don't want to use the finder method of hiding ALL drives, it is only this drive with the specific name / file system UUID.
I have tried using the chflags hidden '/Volume/DRIVE', however this does not persist through a computer reboot. I did have this working in the past but recently had to reformat the SD card and now it is not working anymore.
I am running a Macbook Air Mid 2013 with OSX El Capitan (10.11)

Finder --> Preferences --> then uncheck "External disks" from both General and Sidebar tab.
