[QUOTE="Exodist, post: 1556325, member: 284358"] Sounds like someone has split the drive into two partitions. I could be wrong. Let me ask though is it setup with a Fusion drive? Fusions drive being a SSD + regular HDD for better performance. But that said, what I understand from the fusion drives is that they should show up as one drive regardless. Now there is nothing wrong with have two drives if it is two drives. One can simply be assigned to the system and the larger one assigned to your /home folder. Also nothing wrong with partitioning a larger drive this way. Reason being is that it blocks any potential malware from effecting the system. But then again, when it comes to OSX or any *nix based system, this is really nothing to worry about with a desktop system. Though if it was a server with important data then that different. Also nothing different from a desktop and a server other then its intended purpose. Just FYI.. [/QUOTE]
