As you can see on the screenshots, i have an Samsung SSD T5 extarnal drive.

There's enough space to use but Adobe only selected 15gb of it.

How can i change this?

Correct answer Kevin Stohlmeyer

For example, a have another external drive that works fine with Photoshop from LACIE which you can see on the screenshot, which says. Mac OS extensive (journaled)

Does it mean that this one works better? Is it a better idea to buy something like that?

Sorry the screenshots are Dutch.


Correct. Mac OS Extended is the correct format so that drive should work without issue. 

You need to go to disk utility on your mac and reformat the Samsung drive to the same format Mac OS Extended (Journal)

Also, don't use the Samsung app to check space. Use Finder, System Info, or Disk Utility.

Did you format your drive to a Mac compatible format like ex-Fat?

What format did you apply Mac OS extended Journal or?

Out of the box these drives are not Mac formatted and will conflict on new OS (catalina and Big sur)
