I am trying to open a disk via terminal. When I type:
cd Volumes
ls -la
Is see:
total 0

2 12:36 SSD -> /
When I type cd HDD, I see:
-bash: cd: HDD: No such file or directory
How can I solve this? Thank you.

Can you provide a screen shot of Disk Utility again after you change the View to "Show All Devices"?
I added another partition as HFS+ (Untitled) to the external SSD and it still works fine. So, my drive has 2 APFS volumes and an HFS+ volume.
Seems to be working fine here. I'm booted into High Sierra from an external SSD with 2 APFS containers. 1 for my OS and the other is a clone of my OS. Why did you format your HDD as APFS? I think it can be done but it's not necessarily advised until Apple acknowledges support for APFS on HDDs.
Macintosh HD below is HFS+
I think I have solved the problem. I changed the Partition Map Scheme for the Hitachi drive to Apple Partition Map.
And now it is working. 🙂
I get this:

Is the Partition Map Scheme for the Hitachi drive, GUID? You can check this by clicking on the Hitachi drive and it should tell you in the right pane under Partition Map:.
Everything looks good otherwise and the Terminal commands should work.
It needs to be GUID. I think it was fixed by doing Erase and reformat - not by changing the Partition Map Scheme.
Try in Disk Utility to select the Hitachi drive and do an Erase formatting it HFS+ with GUID. Name the single partition whatever you want. Then try your Terminal command again.
I have now format it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
But I have still the same problem.
Yes it is, but why I can't access it?
Try this command:
diskutil list
I have no trouble with
cd /Volumes/volumename
Did you try the full version
cd /Volumes/HDD
?
aa:/ abbas$ cd /Volumes/HDD
-bash: cd: /Volumes/HDD: No such file or directory
aa:/ abbas$
From what I can tell, the problem is APFS. Even if I type cd<space> then drag the volume into the terminal window I get the "No such file or directory" error.
I have changed the partition to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and I still get "No such file or directory".
