Recently, we explained how to get macOS Ventura on a different volume on Mac. These will have your name or, by default, be called Macintosh HD (stores the system files) and Macintosh HD – Data (stores your data).Īny new volume you create will be listed in this left sidebar of Disk Utility. If you click the tiny arrow to expand it, you will see multiple volumes of that group. In the left sidebar, you will see the volume group with the word volumes next to it. Meanwhile, a volume is flexible and can use the free space of the APFS container as required.ĭue to the above-mentioned size flexibility of volumes, for most work, including running different macOS versions, Apple recommends creating a new volume instead of creating a new partition. The terms partition and volume appear the same, but they are different.Ī drive partition is rigid (when creating a partition on your SSD or HDD, you have to define the size of that partition, say 80 GB, and it can’t exceed that). And every container can have several volumes. The drive can have more than one container or partition. The internal drive on your Mac running macOS High Sierra (10.13) or newer is in Apple File System (APFS) format. Note: APFS Encrypted disks will be described as 'FileVault' whether they are the boot volume or not in the ap list.9) Can’t erase or delete a volume on Mac? What’s a volume on Mac Solution Use Disk Utility to erase a user disk and format as APFS (Encrypted).
Ensure all user volumes are encrypted to protect data.
Impact: While FileVault protects the boot volume data may be copied to other attached storage and reduce the protection afforded by FileVault. Rationale: In order to protect user data from loss or tampering volumes carrying data should be encrypted. User disks are labelled with '(No specific role)' by default. 'Role' disks include Preboot, Recovery and VM. All APFS volumes that do not have specific roles that do not require encryption should be encrypted. macOS computers generally have several volumes created as part of APFS formatting including Preboot, Recovery and Virtual Memory (VM) as well as traditional user disks. The file system is optimized for Flash and Solid State storage and encryption. Information Apple developed a new file system that was first made available in 10.12 and then became the default in 10.13.
