APFS format fails
When I try to format my external Crucial P5 2TB M.2 NVMe PCLe SSD on my M1 MacBook Air using disk utility on OS Monterey I keep getting the following....
Erasing “ASMT USB 3.2 Device Media” (disk4) and creating “Untitled”
Unmounting disk
Creating the partition map
Waiting for partitions to activate
Formatting disk4s2 as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with name Untitled
Initialized /dev/rdisk4s2 as a 2 TB case-insensitive HFS Plus volume with a 155648k journal
Mounting disk
Creating a new empty APFS Container
Unmounting Volumes
Switching disk4s2 to APFS
Couldn’t read partition map. : (-69876)
Operation failed…
Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
