Q: 512 SSD only showing 256?
I have a 2012 2.3 i7 Mini which has an SSD (for OS + apps) and a HHD (for data). I purchased it last year and have only just really noticed that the SSD is showing as being 256GB in size.
In Disk utility is shows that the drive is 512 and the single partition is 256 which takes up the whole drive.
When I go into system report, it then shows that the Recovery partition is in fact 256 also:
I didn't set up the drives myself, but does anyone know why this happens or how would happen?
Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), 2.3 i7 Quad, 16GB, 512 SSD + 500GB
