Mac Pro 2019 Hard Drive capacity and other questions

I was a bit easier with my older mac Pros which had removable hard drives and easier to understand but now my Mac Pro 2019 is way above my understanding so here's what I have to do.


I have ( I believe ) a 5TB hard drive and an 8TB Sata drive. The 5TB hard drive I believe has two partitions.(12.6) and (Hard Drive 2TB) I want to delete a partition so I have 1 (5TB drive).

How many TBs is my hard drive I'm confused


How do I go about doing this, below are screenshots


First the folder info on each drive or partition


Second screenshot is storage info

The Finder and MacOS in general only deal with Volumes: sections carved out of physical drives and 'dressed up' to hold files.


Based on your screenshots, you may indeed have a 4 or 5 TB boot drive in your machine.


launch Terminal and type this command to see the underlying structure.

Post the text, an screenshot or a photograph of the output.
