[QUOTE="JakeB80, post: 1780662, member: 378785"] Sure. This command in terminal showed the disk I needed mounted. diskutil list Which was "disk1s2" in my case so I opened Automator and choose run shell script with no input. Then I used "diskutil mount /dev/disk1s2" and saved it. Then I did the same thing with Automator and used "diskutil eject /Volumes/* to eject the drive and saved it. Then went into keyboard shortcuts and chose "services' in the left column and at the bottom of the list was the commands I saved with Automator. I choose "add shortcut" and choose the keyboard shortcuts I wanted. My apologies if it isn't very clear. If there are any questions please feel free to ask. I'll try to answer the best I can. This was all new to me also. Also, one of the reasons I wanted to have this setup is I use the extra internal drive as a scratch disk for Photoshop and really just wanted the drive running for that. So the way I have it setup now is I used Automator to set it up that when I use keyboard shortcut to open Photoshop, it also mounts the drive, then when I close Photoshop with the keyboard shortcut it ejects the drive.
