[QUOTE="krs, post: 1926249, member: 67742"] Same as was posted just above my post. One container and one volume, not two volumes one with the macOS and the other for data. That's why I mentioned that my macOS is Mojave, same macOS "Bob" mentioned was probably the OS on that 2TB SSD Seems to me that with Mojave the two volumes you refer to don't show separately in the left pane of Disk Utility, it just shows as one volume called "Crucial 1TB" in my case Hemp said earlier thathe does not have two volumes "Bob" and "Bob-Data" - all I'm saying, neither do I. I assume that Apple changed the way volumes show in Disk Utility on a later macOS and that is why you see two volumes. Point is that on Mojave, if that was the macOS on the 2TB SSD, there is no separate "Bob-Data" or in my case "Crucial 1TB-Data" one can write to. I'm talking about a boot volume That is already the case with Mojave - one icon on the desktop but also only one volume shown in Disk Utilities. I don't have any issues, I just wanted to see what Disk Utility shows on my Mac since I'm running Mojave (same as Hemp on that 2TB SSD) I wonder if that is well known - or, when one selects TM for a backup drive - that information comes up. Lately I have seen a few posts on the forum about people with TM and other files on the same drive and ending up in a mess they are trying to resolve. I don't use TM myself, but I assume one could partition an external drive, assign TM to one partition and use the other for storage without any issues. [/QUOTE]
