partition map scheme for external ssd drive with 2022 M1 Mac mini During format/initialize how should I choose which partition map scheme for a 500GB external ssd drive with 2022 M1 Mac Mini running Ventura 13.0.1 ? i.e. GUID Partition Map, Master Boot Record, Apple Partition Map? I plan to use this external SSD for additional storage of data files/photos/music as the Mac mini only has 256GB onboard. I will use another removable device for my Time Machine backups as I have been advised to use a totally separate drive for them. Thank you, GroBo

How to format a USB Drive in macOS Ventura Mac OS Extended (Journaled)? Only APFS is possible...... How to format a USB Drive in macOS Ventura Mac OS Extended (Journaled)? Only APFS is possible...... It is possible to do it with diskutil in Terminal but it isn't possible to format a disk using DiskUtility. But formatting it in Terminal is also to solve this problem. Check the usb stick on another Mac and it is no problem with the stick.
