That is your firmware. That shouldn't be mounting on the desktop. I don't
know if it's problem if you don't open it, but it might be worth a Google
search on the Apple user forums if it persists.

I just rebooted my mbp mid 2012 with os 10.10 on it, and i've noticed a
volume called efi on the desktop. I've noticed this before, and it's gone
away, but it keeps coming back. granted, not everytime i restart, but enough
to concern me. What's it for, isn't that firmware, and why does it keep
coming back? surely they're not updating the mbp's firmware that much,
especially that i've got such an old machine? does it happen if there's a
failure in startup or something? Thanks for any help you can provide in
this.************
