What is the difference between volume, drive and partition?


Volume is the name of the drive or partition,  partition is a cut-out segment of the drive space!

As with drives and hard drives , the terms what is only human are confused, but anyone who has read the FAQ: step by step split new hard drive, format, shrink ... may have already understood most of it!

The volume on the drive!



The volume, which is often also referred to as a partition, is a section on the hard drive that is available as a drive after formatting for storing files, for folders, pictures, videos, .... And after formatting it is given a name and a drive letter, which is also referred to as the volume label on the operating system!

 The partition is on the volume, isn't it?



Correctly recognized, but as long as the volume is not formatted, it is only a volume, only after formatting is it a partition, after assigning the drive letter it is often referred to as a drive, but this is not entirely correct!

Isn't the partition a drive then?



Not quite, it gets a drive letter after formatting, but from this point of view it is not a drive, but a partition, this is a wrong translation from English and it has become so common that these are called drives!
