外付けSSDを初期化したい I am trying to format it for the first time. It's not dedicated to time machine, I just want to initialize it and remove 3 years worth of garbage. I thought that if I right-clicked on the Extreme SSD icon in the Finder, there would be a format option, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Q1:Disk Utility has a menu called "Erase". Should I press this icon? Q2: Could you please tell me if there are any precautions to take when initializing an external SSD? *Data has been backed up. -- Specifications: MacBookPro2020, macOS Ventura13.6, SunDisk Extreme SSD 500GB(APFS)

New SSD install (Mojave) Boots on Internal Disk That I Don't Physically Have Can someone please help me figure out what this list means? 1TB Fusion Drive failed. It was only displaying 128GB out of the 1TB. Purchased new 1TB SSD. Installed new SSD, booted iMac, used System Preferences to point to the new 1TB SSD as the boot drive but diskutil list is still showing an internal 128GB drive that I have no idea what it is... Here is the list terminal gave me. What do I need to do, if anything to get rid of those other drives that are not there. I do have a Time Machine backup but can easily start fresh as I had just completed a clean install anyway with Mojave.

Within Disk Utility click on "View" and select "Show All Devices" so that the physical drive appears in the left pane of Disk Utility.

If this does not work, then what is the exact model of your laptop? You can get this information by entering your serial number here or here. Also what version of macOS was on the old drive?

What make & model of SSD did you purchase?
