Make a partition 500 GB Solid State SATA Drive.
Hi there.
I want to make a partition in my Mac mini of 50Gb.
I'm going to follow this instructions:
- Choose View > Show All Devices.
- Select an existing APFS volume in the sidebar, then click the Add Volume button .
- Enter a name for the new APFS volume.
- Click the Format pop-up menu, then choose a format.
- APFS: Uses the Apple File System format, recommended for volumes using macOS High Sierra.
- APFS (Encrypted): Uses the Apple File System format and encrypts the partition.
- APFS (Case-sensitive): Uses the Apple File System format and is case-sensitive to file and folder names. For example, folders named “Homework” and “HOMEWORK” are two different folders.
- APFS (Case-sensitive, Encrypted): Uses the Apple File System format, is case-sensitive to file and folder names, and encrypts the partition. For example, folders named “Homework” and “HOMEWORK” are two different folders.
- If you want to manually manage APFS volume allocation, click Size Options and enter values in the fields:
- Reserve Size: The optional reserve size ensures that the amount of storage will remain available for this volume.
- Quota Size: The optional quota size limits how much storage the volume can allocate.
- Click Add.
Now, the part I don't understand is point 5. What should I put in Reserve Size and Quite Size. To leave untouched the remain 550GB SSD Drive.
Thank You.
