hi
I do not have the usual issue of scratch disk showing as full, I have no scratch. If I happen to put a USB in the iMac, that shows as the scratch disk.
It may possibly be due to the new drives I installed in my iMac. I have replaced my old SSD with a new one and the old platter HDD with a similar size SSD. Both are formatted as APFS, which is as they should be.
The larger drive is for all of my data and I have it divided into what are called containers; they have superseded partitions. The container on my data drive has 100% of the space allocated to data in 6 different volumes.
My system drive is 480 Gb with 400Gb free. it has just the one container with 100% of it dedicated to applications and system stuff.
Photoshop shows zero scratched disks when I look and just seems to detect any external drives I plug in. There is obviously something that PS does not like in my setup, but not sure what it is and what to do. I'll be blowed if I will reformat the drives to suit PS (oh, CC2017 by the way). This is the optimal setup for SSDs drives and that is how it will stay. Surely PS is able to detect the 400Gb free on the system drive, but it seems not to be able to.
Any suggestions gladly accepted.
Regards
I asked here on an old thread to see if this is still the case with the just released photoshop cc 2019.

Photoshop is not finding my E: Drive, yet it's using my C: (OS) and D: (System Reserved)

That helps a lot. Happy to use an external for now. Considering APFS is the recommended way to format SSDs for Mac, you would hope for it to work natively, but happy there is a workaround
Thanks again

Thanks Jeff. yes, until I upgrade, stuck with using a USB stick for scratch disk. Not ideal, but will help
