Hi,
Is there a way to know from the GUI, what is the size of my disk?
All I see is the usage in %. But I need to know what is the size of my disk.

I never noticed but I could not find it from clicking around. You might well be right.
I am normally on consoles, maybe that's why. If you're in a pinch whilst someone tells where in the UI to look, just drop to a shell and $gpart show will list your disks and their properties, including the media size & partitions.
If you install the os-smart plugin you can go and find the Info for each drive using the smartctl command via the GUI. It will give you data like this:

Thank you all!
I needed a GUI option, so I installed os-smart, it gives me the info I need.
But I can swear that in the past I was able to see my disk on the dashboard.
