Format a seagate hard drive for mac

broken image

So up to this point, I have reformatted my drive is extended journaled around 4 times. I have been trying to format my 5T Seagate external hard drive so it's formatted to be read and write so I can back up my computer (and as a photographer back up my sd cards on it).įrom what I've Googled, assuming that I only work with Macs, that it is best to format my SSD as Mac OS Extended journaled. The images below show how my internal drives are formatted as APFS.

I have a 2019 Macbook pro and recently upgraded to Big Sur.
