Mac os has a 1TB SSD but only sees 600GB

Hello! I have a MacBook Pro (Retina Early 2015). I recently installed Windows 10 via Bootcamp, but after switching to mac os, Windows stopped opening. I decided to remove it via bootcamp, but after removing it, the Mac stopped seeing the 400 GB on which Windows was located.

My disk itself is 1 TB, but only 600 GB is visible, how can I fix this?


The disk I'm using is an WD Green SN350 NVMe SSD 1TB via an adapter, before this incident it regularly showed 1 TB.

MacBook Pro 15″

so if your fiddling with Disk Utility clobbered your drive, that is Backup good enough?

Could you start over and recover all your files from that?


if so, you can proceed to Disk Utility.

Select the existing MacOS Data Volume, then choose the Partition command.

expand the existing about 600 Gb into the additional free space.

This will re-organize the drive and allow it to expand into the Free Space that has already been vacated by removing the 400 GB Windows partition, according to your diskutil list posted earlier.

use the 'Enlarge a partition on a storage device' heading



NB> you are NOT adding a new partition -- that is not recommended. You want to Expand the size of your existing one.

what happens if you try to specify a larger size in the size box for the Monterey partition?


your diskutil list suggests the striped area has ALREADY been deleted, and the Monterey volume should be expandable into it.


One more reason to have a very recent trusted backup is that expanding/shrinking does not always go to plan, and the backup plan is to ERASE the drive, create a 1 TB Volume, re-install MacOS and restore your files from backup.
