[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1948734, member: 396914"] Another thought. In my MBP with an M3 chip, the internal storage is called "APPLE SSD AP1024 Media" and is the name of the entire storage area provided with the chipset. There is then a Container and within that Container a Volme named "Macintosh HD" and a second with the same name and then a third wiht "Macintosh HD - Data". Those are the internal drive components. Is that what you are referring to? The "APPLE SSD..." name is the equivalent of the manufacturer name of any hardware drive. I would definitely leave that totally as it is. Similarly, the Container name should not be messed with as it is partially a system component and changing the name may trigger security issues. The first instance of a volume with "Macintosh HD" is the secure sealed volume, and is set to be read-only by the OS. The second Macintosh HD is just a name, unchangable, and within it is "Macintosh HD snapshot" which is the actual boot drive in a Mx or T2 system. The "Macintosh HD - Data" is the area that holds the user data. I wouldn't rename that part either, as some third party products actually read the storage names and cound on Macintosh HD - Data being there just that way. So, is that what you are talking about?
