[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1786600, member: 396914"] My MBP has a 1Tb SSD and shows 1TB storage capacity. Disk Utility says there is another volume in the container for 1.81GB that I assume is the Recovery Partition. It's formatted APFS, btw. My largest bootable external drive is an SSD formatted HFS+, advertised as 960Gb, Shows 959.34GB in the one partition. There is a Recovery Partition on that drive as well, tucked into the difference between the 960 and 959.34GB. If you lost 40GB on your SSD, I would back it up and repartition it over to recover that space. I don't know why your drives are that way and mine aren't. I also used the command line "df" and it returned 1T for the internal SSD and 959GB for the external. Again, I'm on High Sierra 10.13.3 on a MBP retina 15" Mid-2015. [/QUOTE]
