SSD external format
I have a MB Pro 16" M1 Max running Ventura. I added a SSD external to use for Lightroom and formatted the the SSD MacOS extended journal. I was able to import pics to the external and view them in Lightroom. The next day while using Lightroom I received a message "drive was not ejected properly"
I've researched and see that new formats are now available but wouldn't the OS have given me an error message when I initially started using the drive.
