Partition External SSD Drive
I purchased a Samsung T5 SSD 1T external drive to use as a time machine backup. I had planned on creating two partitions on the drive using one for TM and other to store files. Using disc utility I was only able to format the drive as Mac OS extended and not given the option partition or format as APFS. Did I get a defective drive, or is it not possible to partition a SSD on my MacBook?
Thank you.
