Hi,
After upgrading to Catalina, i'm blessed with 3 versions of my SSD drive:
Clearly, it's the same disk (I have only 1 disk) and they are all 1TB of size. I've read that this has something to do the way the new APFS is working, but I'm sure that I can get rid of the "Data" disks somehow (or hide them).
But how?
Thanks,
Helpless dude.

Your Mac HD now has two volumes, created by Catalina, one is the now read only mac HD (for security reasons) and the other is the read/write Mac HD - Data which contains your User folder and other files.
Apparently, you reinstalled Catalina at which point the OS created a second Data volume. Unless you follow these steps and erase your disk, it will create another Data volume (again).
