I was trying to get my NTFS drive to work today and I discovered that the diskutil thinks I have two local hard drive. This phenomenon is not occurred on my Macbook Pro. Do anyone know why?
Here is what it shows:
If you run diskutil corestorage list
, you will get a more detailed list:

There’s a Physical Volume (disk0s2) and a Logical Volume (disk1).
This sheet explains the situation quite well:
As you can see, you need a Logical Volume; a Physical isn’t enough.
