I was interested in Issue 579's Workshop about moving software to an external SSD. So, I purchased a 1TB SanDisk external SSD (pictured). All went well until I began attempts to partition the SSD, as per Step 2 of your instructions. No matter what I tried the Shrink Volume menu item remained greyed out. I checked the other volumes listed and both my external hard drives showed this same option to be active. Rightly or wrongly, I formatted the SSD. Again, no change. I've tried to contact the SanDisk helpline, but with no success. Is it the fact that this SanDisk SSD cannot be partitioned? If so, then I think that SanDisk should make it known to prospective purchasers. I hope that you can help as I am no expert with this technology and am quite prepared to accept that I am doing something wrong.
