Disks/volumes

This pane lists all of the storage attached to your Mac – internal and external, and disk images. When the arrow next to a disk is pointing down, all of the volumes (partitions) on it are shown slightly indented below it.

Menus

Look under File, Edit and Images to find options for altering the password for an encrypted disk, to verify an image is intact, and to restore it to a disk.

Operations

With a disk or a volume selected, certain items in the toolbar will be available to use – most notably ‘Partition’ when a disk is highlighte­d, and ‘Erase’ when either is selected.

Summary info

Select a volume or a disk to see an overview of its contents and technical attributes.
