Mac data HD showing

Hello Everyone,

This HD-Data drive has appeared (Left). Is there a way to remove it from my desktop?

I appreciate any help you can provide.

“Invisible” volume on internal drive Using Disk Utility I can see a unmounted volume called Data that’s taking up over half of the drive’s disk space, but I can’t figure out how to mount it to see what it contains. I didn’t create it (to my knowledge) and I don’t know why it’s there. I’m comfortable with Terminal if that’s what it takes to mount it/see its contents, but of course, it would be better to access with the MacOS interface. I also tried Startup Disk in Sys Prefs to see if Data volume was bootable, but it wasn’t an available option. Also, I couldn’t find a file/folder with invisibles turned on for /System/Volumes/Data. How can I see it and is it safe to get rid of it?

Hard drive showing in Disk Utility but not on finder Hey, So I've tried first aid, I've tried restarting my computer, I checked to see if it's compatible with mac, I looked in finders preferences to make sure hard drives were selected, I mounted it and unmounted it, and nothing has worked so far. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

See See the devices connected to your Mac - Apple Support and try toggling the HD view option.

Your computer likely. has a Fusion Drive, if so this is normal operation and can be ignored.
