For 2009 MacPro, it was not the case. The disks were considered
internal.  So that trick worked fine to exclude USB sticks from indexing
in Spotlight without affecting the data drives.

But the 2013 MacPro forced move of internal drives to external cabinet
and I didn't think it would be considered "external" since the
connection is thunderbolt with a actual cabinet to support internal
drives that are not removable.
