Can't Partition SSD on Mac (HELP PLEASE)
Go to solution
Solved by DrMacintosh,
Just to make this easier. Format the drive as mac os extended journaled (HFS+) and try again. APFS has to do wonky container disks to work properly.
As you can see, Bootcamp requires a partition and then macOS must be relocated into a wonky container disk. On a Mac running Windows in Bootcamp, Windows is actually the main OS, the SMC just tricks the boot order to load into macOS.
HFS+ is a lot more straight forward and allows two distinct partitions. The downside is that HFS+ is slower and not as secure as APFS.
